It has political consequences and signals a danger that our intellectual activities, particularly in the humanities, may tear themselves to pieces. This tension between a demand for truthfulness and the doubt that there is any truth to be found is not an abstract paradox. Modern culture exhibits two attitudes toward truth: suspicion of being deceived (no one wants to be fooled) and skepticism that objective truth exists at all (no one wants to be naive). Writing with his characteristic combination of passion and elegant simplicity, he explores the value of truth and finds it to be both less and more than we might imagine. What does it mean to be truthful? What role does truth play in our lives? What do we lose if we reject truthfulness? No philosopher is better suited to answer these questions than Bernard Williams. And while he can help her with number six (kiss someone without flinching), she knows she's on her own with number three (forgive Gina and Gray) and the rest of the seemingly impossible tasks that must be made possible before she can live in the now again. And Max knows about the list she writes in the sand at the beach every night, the list of things that Sadie knows she must accomplish before she can move on from the accident.
But Max looks at her scars and doesn't shy away. As Sadie begins to fall for Max, she's unsure if she is truly healed enough to be with him. The only person who seems to understand her is Trent's brother, Max. A year after surviving a car accident that killed her friend Trent and left her body and face scarred, she can't move forward. Sadie Kingston is living in the aftermath. Stevens, about hope and courage and the struggle to overcome the pain of loss. In the same vein as Jandy Nelson and Gayle Forman comes a novel from the gifted author of Faking Normal, Courtney C.
