Stay

It is the summer of 1974, and eleven—year—old Emily Stone is silently narrating the story of the death of her twin brother, Ham, and the tumultuous unrest it has caused her family. Beneath her father's orderliness and her mother's peacefulness lie chaos and delusion, compounded by Emily's self—imposed silence. When Mr. Stone plans a family vacation to Martha's Vineyard, where Ham drowned, the family begins to spin out of control.

As Emily pieces the fragments of her past together, she begins to understand the truth of her brother's death. Stay is a novel of love and redemption in which Emily Stone rediscovers her voice and moves back into the world.
