Description
10 year old Amara got out of the car after hearing 2 loud bangs. She discovered her older brother's body, lying in a gushing pool of blood. He was shot in the chest, and died instantly. Amara was the only witness and had seen the killer with her very own eyes. There were no security cameras on that day, and the killer didn't leave any DNA behind, so there was nothing to go off of. The police didn't trust a 10 year old's words, and the case eventually went cold. A few days after her brother's brutal murder, a bomb exploded at his high school, killing 2 students. Amara can't help but wonder if her brother's murder and the bombing were connected. Now a sophomore, Amara finds herself drifting off from reality more than ever. She keeps feeling like she missed something that was important to her brother's murder. But everyone around her keeps telling her to just let it go. Without the help of anyone but herself, Amara is determined to put her brother's murderer behind bars, no matter the risks and sacrifices. Along the way, she gains and loses friendships, and discovers her true potentials in the ineffable mysteries. Is anyone who they really seem?
