There is one side of that moment, and the other
Before
After
I have dreamed about it ever since
At the start of a long, hot summer best friends Elk and Mab face the fallout of a sudden death, and the lifelong consequences of a single tragic act.
An intensely emotional story that raises questions about love, ghosts, and the unshakeable bonds of friendship.
