Description
16-year-old Sarah is an aspiring artist who has dropped out of school and believes she's in the middle of an existential crisis. Maybe that explains why she keeps encountering different versions of herself all across town.
When a significant family secret is unveiled, Sarah embarks on a journey to uncover what went wrong on the day six years ago when her brother Bruce left home for good.
Still Life with Tornado by A.S. King delves deep into themes of identity, family secrets, and the complexities of growing up.
