How does a doomed laboratory duck lead to hitting the lottery for 18-year-old Emma? Her life is spiraling out of control, and her freshman college life proves to be miserable and lonely. The financial windfall simply messes up her life even more. In an attempt to survive, she isolates herself in the family’s Michigan cabin hoping that daily ski runs will heal her heart. Even that theory falls into the category of “truly messed up” actions. (Grades 9 & up)
