when she finds a mysterious notebook filled with the sins of her fellow

In four hours, Shelby Jane Cooper will be struck by a car.
Shortly after, she and her mother will leave the hospital and set out on a winding journey toward the Grand Canyon.

Forced to take advantage of the kindness of unsuspecting travelers, Shelby grapples with what’s real, what isn’t, and who she can trust . . . if anybody.

by Laura Rose Wagner
Hold Tight, Don’t Let Go
follows the vivid story of two teenage cousins, raised as sisters, who
survive the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti. After losing the woman
who raised them in the tragedy, Magdalie and Nadine must fend for
themselves in the aftermath of the quake. The girls are inseparable,
making the best of their new circumstances in a refugee camp with an
affectionate, lively camaraderie, until Nadine, whose father lives in
Miami, sends for her but not Magdalie. As she leaves, Nadine makes a
promise she cannot keep: to bring Magdalie to Miami, too. Resourceful
Magdalie focuses her efforts on a reunion with Nadine until she realizes
her life is in Haiti, and that she must embrace its possibilities for
love, friendship, and a future.
