Black Dove – Signed Paperback

Description

Some people use drugs to escape pain. Some drown their sorrows in alcohol. Alisa cuts herself to FEEL.

After her mother’s death, sixteen-year-old Alisa returns to her Alabama hometown with her father, hoping the familiar setting will help him stay sober—and give her a fresh start. She dreams of culinary school, safety, and something close to normal. Reuniting with her childhood best friend Sarah helps. Seeing Ben—the boy who gave her her first kiss—nearly shatters her.

He doesn’t look at her the same way anymore.

A rising basketball star with the homecoming queen on his arm, Ben keeps Alisa at arm’s length, burying his own pain beneath a perfect image. What neither of them knows is that they’re both barely holding on—and their homes are crumbling beneath the surface.

Alisa hides the bruises. Ben hides the truth.

As secrets build and trust erodes, the line between love and survival blurs. And when danger hits too close, the question becomes: can they save each other—before it’s too late?

Black Dove is an emotionally gripping, deeply honest coming-of-age novel perfect for fans of Ellen Hopkins, Courtney Summers, and Kathleen Glasgow.
