At thirteen, Alice witnesses the brutal murder of her cherished older sister Marisa by a loved one. Alice is the only eyewitness to the murder, but the authorities are unable to use her testimony because it is tainted with rare traumatic hallucinations that occur during the crime.

Her despair hurts the few good friends she has while her new enemies become "monsters."

Throughout her journey, Alice continues to search relentlessly, finding answers and hopeful retribution for a killer when justice has supposedly already been served. The Wrong Grief is a character study that searches deep into the mind of an emotionally troubled and wounded young woman who must decide to either embrace her perpetual grief or surrender to a new and healthy triumph.
Download or read book Between Earth and Sky written by Amanda Skenandore and published by Kensington Books. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Amanda Skenandore’s provocative and profoundly moving debut, set in the tragic intersection between white and Native American culture, a young girl learns about friendship, betrayal, and the sacrifices made in the name of belonging. On a quiet Philadelphia morning in 1906, a newspaper headline catapults Alma Mitchell back to her past. A federal agent is dead, and the murder suspect is Alma’s childhood friend, Harry Muskrat. Harry—or Asku, as Alma knew him—was the most promising student at the “savage-taming” boarding school run by her father, where Alma was the only white pupil. Created in the wake of the Indian Wars, the Stover School was intended to assimilate the children of neighboring reservations. Instead, it robbed them of everything they’d known—language, customs, even their names—and left a heartbreaking legacy in its wake. The bright, courageous boy Alma knew could never have murdered anyone. But she barely recognizes the man Asku has become, cold and embittered at being an outcast in the white world and a ghost in his own. Her lawyer husband, Stewart, reluctantly agrees to help defend Asku for Alma’s sake. To do so, Alma must revisit the painful secrets she has kept hidden from everyone—especially Stewart. Told in compelling narratives that alternate between Alma’s childhood and her present life, Between Earth and Sky is a haunting and complex story of love and loss, as a quest for justice becomes a journey toward understanding and, ultimately, atonement.
