Goodbyes and Other Impossible Tasks

Trisha Thompson and her best friend, Christina Eckloe, made a promise to make their final year before college their best year yet. But sometimes life has the ability to shake even the firmest of plans. They always said that senior year changes everything--yet nothing can prepare them for what really happened.

When one night changes everything--almost in slow motion--one group of friends are changed forever. Life can change in an instant and sometimes, the most difficult thing to do is move forward. But with one person dead, and another in a coma, how can we not seek comfort in the past?

It was an ordinary year. Trisha and her boyfriend, Cody, had been making plans to take the next step in the relationship. Including attending University together come autumn. They love each other, after all. And who says you can't meet your soulmate in your teenage days?

As for Christina, she had already received a coveted scholarship to the University of Vermont, her dream school. Everything would be perfect if she didn't feel the burden of guilt brought on by her longtime boyfriend, Tucker. Tucker has always been a huge presence in her life. They had been dating for years. But as they grow up, he becomes more and more testy, controlling, when it comes to being the one left behind.

Based upon the novel Telling Christina Goodbye by bestselling author Lurlene McDaniel. Goodbyes and Other Impossible Tasks is a retelling of the now-classic young adult novel, exploring the loss of a best friend and moving forward.
