From #1 New York Times bestselling author E.K. Johnston comes a brave and unforgettable story that will inspire readers to rethink how we treat survivors.Â

Hermione Winters is captain of her cheerleading team, and in tiny Palermo Heights, this doesnâ€™t mean what you think it means. At PHHS, the cheerleaders don't cheer for the sports teams; they are the sports teamâ€”the pride and joy of a small town. The team's summer training camp is Hermione's last and marks the beginning of the end ofâ€¦sheâ€™s not sure what. She does know this season could make her a legend. But during a camp party, someone slips something in her drink. And it all goes black.

In every class, there's a star cheerleader and a pariah pregnant girl. They're never supposed to be the same person. Hermione struggles to regain the control she's always had and faces a wrenching decision about how to move on. The rape wasn't the beginning of Hermione Winter's story and she's not going to let it be the end. She wonâ€™t be anyoneâ€™s cautionary tale.
