Suzy Swanson is pretty sure she knows
the real reason Franny Jackson died. Everyone says that there’s no way to be
certain…that sometimes things just happen. But Suzy knows there
must be a better explanation—a scientific one. Haunted by
the loss of her former best friend — and by a final, terrible moment that
passed between them — she retreats into a silent world of her own

freak jellyfish sting, she crafts a plan to prove the truth, even if it
means traveling around the globe… alone. As she prepares, she learns
astonishing things about the universe around her… and discovers the potential
for love and hope in her own backyard.
