Fifteen-year-old Lily Berkenshire's worst nightmare is now her reality: her alcoholic father has shot and killed her mother. And now he's made a promise--to return for Lily when the time is right. Maybe if her own mind wasn't turning against her, Lily could survive her father and her own grief. But in the moment she sees her mom dead on the living room floor, something inside her breaks and she begins leaving her shattered reality by way of dissociative trances. In her quiet place, where she doesn't have to feel or think or remember, Lily finds peace. But oblivion offers only momentary relief and the more she disconnects, the more vulnerable she becomes. Hunted, broken and hopeless, Lily must find a way to confront and heal the devastation inside her or surrender her fate and her life to a father determined to finish what he started. From the moment Lily's father fires his first shot to the final, terrifying showdown, Tin Lily is an edge-of-your-seat thriller written in a lyrical voice that, at its center, is about a brave girl trying to become whole again.
