They say a home is where the heart is, but for Ivy Choi, her home is a graveyard of memories. Since her mother's death and her father's passing, Ivy has been a ghost in her own house-shunned by her thirteen older brothers who blame her for the light they lost.
Ivy survives on the quiet kindness of her best friend Sunoo and the distant hope that her three favorite brothers will return from abroad. But as a hidden illness begins to pull the life from her bones, the bullying at home and at school only grows colder.
With only 13 roses left to bloom in her garden, Ivy faces a choice: tell the brothers who hate her the truth, or disappear into the silence they've always wanted.
"I wasn't the one who killed Mom. But I'm the one you're killing now."
