Forged in Grace (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781960573728)

Grace Jensen survived a horrific fire at age 15. The flames changed her: badly scarring her body and mind, but also giving her a new gift, an ability to feel other people's pain. Reclusive and unable to bear human touch, she lives with her mother, tends wounded animals, and nurses a little crush on her former doctor. Her carefully curated world explodes when the magnetic Marly Kennet reappears in town; Grace falls right back into the dynamic of their complicated teenaged friendship. When Marly impulsively exhorts Grace to return to her home in Las Vegas, Grace takes a leap of faith and accepts, thrilled to follow Marly's sizzling energy back into the world. But Marly keeps secrets, including one that has haunted Grace for over a decade: what really happened the night of the fire?
