Paper Birds

Fall seven times, stand up eight.
This is what Clarissa Coligan learned that she must do in order to survive in the harsh world of an American teenager. Sure, you have school and friends on your stress plate, but when you add gambling, shootings, death, and a celebrity boy band named One Direction, things get pretty overwhelming. In a world of fear and uncertainty, Claire struggles to find out how to live with herself anymore. Intensity piles higher and higher as Harry, a bored, famous singer looking for an answer, tries desperately to find how to make Claire feel again. Barriers are broken, hearts are shattered, and death lurks near for those who dare enter her nightmare spiraling out of control. Under her shell constructed of hate, anxiety, and numbness, will Harry finally find that Clarissa is not anymore tough than a sheet of paper?
