About this audiobook
For the past five years, Hayley Kincaid and her father, Andy, have been on the road, never staying long in one place as he struggles to escape the demons that have tortured him since his return from Iraq. Now they are back in the town where he grew up so Hayley can attend school. Perhaps, for the first time, Hayley can have a normal life, put aside her own painful memories, even have a relationship with Finn, the hot guy who obviously likes her but is hiding secrets of his own. Will being back home help Andy’s PTSD, or will his terrible memories drag him to the edge of hell, and drugs push him over? The Impossible Knife of Memory is Laurie Halse Anderson at her finest: compelling, surprising, and impossible to put down.
Editor's Note
Memorial Day…
After serving in the Iraq war, Hayley’s father suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, a struggle and suffering that seeps into the lives of everyone around him. Full of cutting and compelling characters, written by the masterful author of “Speak.”
