Story

The story

Harper is a teenage girl living with her grandmother, Nana, her grandfather, Pop-Pop, her father, and her younger brother, Mason. On the morning of the SATs, her body is found after a fall from the roof of their building. Her ghost lingers, watching as the family learns of her death. Nana, who had always favored Mason, is confronted with the journal Harper left behind, which details years of neglect and abuse. As the police investigate the possibility of foul play, the family must face the truth of what happened to Harper and their role in her suffering.

Opening excerpt

Just like Nana always cursed, I was finally gone. Yet, late that night, she opened my journal, whispering into the dark. "Harper... you should come back as a boy next time. Just be a boy. Girls are born to suffer these things." "Boys have it good."

My body was found the next morning.

The scene was packed with onlookers. Nana, on her early morning grocery run, stopped at the edge of the crowd to gossip. When she heard a young girl had passed away, she shook her head. "Weak. If the girl in my house dared to jump, I’d break her legs myself."
