Fifteen-year-old Miriam experiences terrible things. During a rampage at her school, she witnesses her boyfriend Tobi being shot by a student from the parallel class. Afterwards nothing is the same anymore. Miriam can hardly cope with the loss and her trauma, but she doesn't let anyone get near her. The author wrote the book when she was only 16 years old. Reading level: age 14 upwards.
