Say Something

Love -- especially a dog's love -- can change a person.Not yet sixteen, Bellamy Larson — or Beam, as she’d rather be called — remembers everything. Truthfully, there’s a lot she’d just rather forget. Beam never knew her father and doesn’t ever want to. Her little brother died while saving her. And her mother self-medicates, leaving Beam to fend for herself. Desperate for a normal life, Beam carjacks a rusty pickup and drives south to live with her grandparents in Faderville, Kentucky. Unfortunately, as Beam soon figures out, ‘normal’ doesn’t exist. She could use a friend, but friends are hard to come by when you’re an outsider.Buzz Donovan knows what it’s like to live on the outside. Luckily for him, he has a friend — a dog named Hush. It’s because of Hush, though, that Buzz is homeless. But that’s his choice, because if it weren’t for Hush, his seizure-alert dog, he’d be dead.When Beam runs into Buzz, her world is turned upside down. She doesn’t trust dogs, and for good reason — she’s been mauled by one.Say Something is a story about learning to forgive when you can't forget.
