Friendship. small town. redemption. Drama. grief. HTML:<p>Reach out, hold tight, stand up, move forward.</p> <p>Learning that life goes on is the hardest lesson of all.</p> <p>One life destroyed. Four others irrevocably shattered. Overcoming the shock and grief of death is an all-too-familiar rite of young adulthood.</p> <p>Walking home from a tennis game on a bright spring day, April Walden's three closest friends watch in horror as she is struck by a car and killed. The senseless accident plunges all three young women—and the car's driver—into a devastating and often misguided search for comfort, purpose, and inspiration.</p> <p>Becky wraps herself in a protective cloak of obsessions, performing anxious rituals at the base of the red maple tree under which April died. Elyse dives into a high-risk party life, trying to honor April by experiencing everything April missed but mistaking self-destructive indulgence for courage. Florie turns to fundamentalist Christianity, not as spiritual guidance, but as a wall that might shield her from reality. Mark, the driver, spirals downward into substance abuse and self-loathing, until April's three friends reach out to save him.</p> <p>How do you make it through the night when you've stopped believing that tomorrow always comes?</p>.
