~~~~~~~~~~ Ukanee, it's Aymie's home country. It's a country divided into over one hundred small communities. Each community acts like a cell in an organism. They have no power on their own, but as a group they are very powerful. Some say they have enough power to defeat Yoai in war. Each citizen of Ukanee contains a very special gift. With each gift, each teen is assigned a career to practice until retirement. At the age of three, Aymie discovers her gift of being unable to drown, and at fifteen, her mayor assigned her the job of a Lifeguard at the community pool. Aymie is a lucky one....Not everyone finds their gift in time. Not everyone gets a house and a family. Some are sent to a far unknown place. When there's more to Aymie's gift than discovered, her future becomes distorted, and her perfect life will completely fade. ~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the sequel to Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, the first book in the Weeping Willow High School series.

This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.
