Two years ago, Brenna did the unthinkable. She witnessed the aftermath of a murder and accused her only true friend - the first boy she ever loved - of being a killer.
Now 16, Brenna returns to Oklahoma only to discover that Isaac 'White Bird' Henry isn't in juvie. The half-breed outcast is in a mental hospital, frozen in time, locked in his mind at the worst moment of his life. And when Brenna touches him, she's pulled into his hellish vision quest, seeing terrifying demons and illusions she doesn't understand.
Feeling isolated and alone, she's up against the whole town, targeted by bullying former classmates, a bigoted small town sheriff, and a tribe who refuses to help one of their own. But when Brenna realizes she's as trapped by the past as White Bird is, this time she won't turn her back on him. She's the only one who can free them both.
Even if she has to expose her secret - a gift she's kept hidden her whole life.

"I had no idea what to expect with this book. I hadn't read anything else by the author, however the synopsis sounded interesting. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself drawn in rather quickly. I connected deeply with the main character, Brenna. So much so, that at the end of one chapter I was almost in tears. I think the fact that I was at work was the only thing that kept me from actually being in tears. And I'm not one to tear up easily over a book. There is a lot of Native American influence in this book which I enjoyed as that is an area of interest to me. Though this is a paranormal book, the paranormal takes a backseat to the main story. This is a very plot driven book, again something I liked. The very real issue of bullying is touched upon. I was fortuante enough to never have been bullied, but the bullies in this book truly scared me. They were almost like sociopaths. But Brenna's evolution is at the heart of this beautifully written story. I highly recommend this book and plan to read more by this author."
