Everything in Between - Joyce, Frances

Résumé :
Cradle to the grave, we were meant to be together. Until we weren't. Over nine years ago, a bus crash claimed the life of the boy she promised to love forever. Sabrina still hasn't moved on. Forty-six students, two chaperones, and the driver were on that bus. Adam was the only fatality, and she picked their seat. Sabrina's life has become a shrine to the life they never got to have. Her carefully crafted existence begins to unravel after she's discovered sleeping at Adam's grave by her co-worker, Clay Templeton. Clay persuades Sabrina to join his grief support group. What choice does she have? How many parents would entrust the education of their children to a woman who sleeps in a cemetery? Her resistance softens after she learns Clay's story and the stories of other group members. Loss is personal, but it's not exclusive. After announcing plans to build a new high school, Dr. MacManus, the new superintendent, labels Adam's memorial a painful reminder of a tragic accident, and has it removed. He also pressures Sabrina to move to one of the district's middle schools, so he can give her position to another teacher. When Sabrina questions the timing of these events, her clash with Dr. MacManus uncovers secrets with the power to destroy lives. Everything in Between explores guilt, grief, loss, and our ability to survive and move forward....
