The Survival List

"Nobody writes about family secrets with the grace, compassion, and intrigue of Courtney Sheinmel." --Leila Sales, author of This Song Will Save Your Life

Fans of I Was Here by Gayle Forman and Far from the Tree by Robin Benway will be floored by this heartbreaking yet uplifting teen novel about a grieving girl who follows a mysterious list across the country after her older sister's death.

Sloane Weber is devastated when her older sister dies by suicide. Talley was a bright light who made everyone want to step closer. Why had she made that unthinkable choice?

The only clue Talley left behind for Sloane is a puzzle--a list of random places and names, along with the phone number of a boy named Adam, who lives in California and claims he didn't know Talley.

Sloane heads west, enlists Adam's help, and together they search for answers. But while Sloane is drawn to Adam, she can't shake the feeling that he's hiding something. Is Sloane ready to learn the truth--about Adam, her sister, or the secrets her family has been hiding for years?
