Past Tense

Pretty and popular Isobel Alexander had it all. The attention, the friends, the guys. Fairstreet High's pride, she was bold, she was brilliant, she was perfect. A star athlete and a promising student, she had her future all mapped out. She was ready to go riding into the stars...

Until she fell silent and stopped caring about the important things in life. Until her impending sixteenth birthday began to look more like a time to grieve than to celebrate. But everyone chose to just ignore it and ride it out.

But when tragedy strikes, suddenly the people of Fairstreet High are forced to realize just how unpredictable life can be. When one person decides to point fingers and play the blame game, the school's quiet grief becomes an all out hell. Fissures and cracks begin to appear in the seemingly perfect kids' lives, along with the suspicion of a beloved teacher fighting to prove his innocence.

Unrelenting and true, Past Tense is a story about betrayal, secrets, and fighting for the truth of things.
