If you lived in the town of Clear Creek Valley, you'd know who I am, and you'd know who my family is. But in the slight chance that you don't, or have never even visited, I'm Oliver Harken Derry. I'm twenty now, but I was seventeen during the summer of 1993. That summer started out like normal: my parents went to visit the relatives, my older sister went on a secret road trip, I started a prank war with my eleven younger siblings... but then the crazy shit happened. Stuff, I'd never expected. I'd like to blame a lot of what happened on Penny Harris (one of my foster sisters), and her brothers, but it wasn't exactly ALL her fault. The circumstances just weren't on our side, apparently. We could've never expected any of it. As I'm finding out, my family is destined to be in the midst of trouble, at all times. Being a Harken... it doesn't mean anything to you. But it means a hell of a lot to me, and I'd do anything to protect that.

Rebecca Harken is terrified of being touched... along with many other things... so what happens when the thing she's tried to avoid is suddenly a horrible reality?

Sixteen year old, Bella Harken, has knowingly taken one of the hardest jobs she's ever had, or ever WILL have. She is the nanny for the dreaded Sweeny siblings. There are four of them. Owen (17), Eli (15), Danny (10), and Lucy (3). Despite the protests of her over-protective siblings (she's the ninth member of the dozen Harken "siblings"), she decides to live up to the challenge. She's never backed away from a challenge before, so why start now? Even if it means "babysitting" a boy that she's known since she was six. The Sweeny brothers, will do ANYTHING to get rid of Bella for good, so that their mother will FINALLY remember that they exist. Besides, battling Bella in the game of wits and pranks has been far more fun than they'll ever let her know. After a year, they still have not come to terms with the fact that she's there to stay. When one normal seeming weekend, begins to slide downhill at a rapid pace, Bella's rocky, mysterious past begins to haunt her, and the rest of her town. Will the Sweenys and the Harkens finally rebuild the bridge that had been torn down in an equally as mysterious strife, or will they revert back to the hatred and loathing they've known for so long? How will one weekend change the lives of these average teenagers forever? *~*~* A/N: I wrote this story as a challenge for myself in December of 2011, I wanted to complete it before the new year. And I did. This is the final product and I haven't really looked at it or edited it since, so I apologize for any mistakes and/or plot holes. Please enjoy, and let me know what you think. Thank you so much for reading.

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.
