First Chapter ~ First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea, where bloggers post the first paragraph(s) of a book they are currently reading or planning to read sometime soon.

Have you ever wanted something so much, it's not a desire so much as a beacon? Have you ever prayed for it so hard, your fingernails curl into your palms and your eyes squinch shut and your whole body just hums?

This coming of age story was a difficult read for me because of the subject matter. The novel touches on mental health issues, abuse, and victimization, although it also highlights the capacity for healing, hope, and the strength of the human spirit.
