“A stunner.”—Kirkus Review, starred review

Safe is the memory of Mama.
Safe is Pa and school and best friends like Caroline.
Safe is normal . . . until the day the orange car pulls up and everything—even Mama—is ripped away.

Years after her mother’s death, Tracy still feels her presence. But the moment Tracy is forced into a car as she is walking home from school one day, safe is ripped away. In the aftermath of an unspeakable crime, thirteen-year-old Tracy must fight her way back to safety and find comfort in her mother’s memory once again.

Safe is a powerful testament to the human spirit and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope can shine through.
