Faith Gardner is an American novelist and musician. Her young adult novels include How We Ricochet, Girl on the Line, and The Second Life of Ava Rivers.
For readers of This Is How It Ends and All the Bright Places, How We Ricochet takes an intimate and unflinching look into the devastating consequences of a mass shooting for one girl and her close-knit family, from Faith Gardner, acclaimed author of Girl on the Line. It seems sometimes a charade that we continue celebrating in the face of relentless tragedy. How dare we? But then . . . what else is there to do? Betty's mom needed new pants for her job. That was why Betty was at the mall with her mom and sister when the shooting started. Afterward, nothing is the same. There are no easy answers to be found, and Betty's search for them leads her to Michael, the brother of the shooter. But this path only shows Betty one thing: that everything she thought she knew--about herself, about the world around her--can change in a heartbeat. A moving, powerful journey of life after tragedy, How We Ricochet is a fearless and necessary story for our time that will resonate with readers everywhere.
