The Beauty That Remains
Autumn’s best friend was in a fatal car accident, Shay’s twin sister succumbed to the cancer she’d been fighting, and Logan’s ex-boyfriend took his own life — recent events that have left the three teens’ lives in turmoil as they struggle to cope with their grief. In an attempt to hold on to those they’ve lost, each uses technology to connect with their loved ones. But in the end, it will take the love and support of those still living, and a shared passion for music, to begin mending their broken hearts.
With a wonderfully diverse cast of characters, Ashley Woodfolk’s debut teen novel offers a beautifully written, utterly heart-wrenching, and stunningly realistic account of three individual experiences with grief and healing. YA readers who enjoy stories packed with emotion will love every word and devour every page of The Beauty That Remains.
