All We Could Have Been - Thryft
All We Could Have Been - Thryft

Heartbreaking journey through stigma and self-identity.

Lexie's story in "All We Could Have Been" resonates deeply with anyone who's ever felt overshadowed by another's actions. It navigates the complex path of self-forgiveness and the quest for acceptance, capturing the struggle between familial love and the desire to be seen as an individual. If finding one's self in the aftermath of trauma is a theme that speaks to you, Lexie's raw and honest narrative will surely be both compelling and cathartic.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Five years ago, Lexie walked home from school after her older brother failed to pick her up. When she entered her house, her brother sat calmly, waiting for the police to come arrest him for the heinous crime he had just committed.Treated like a criminal herself, Lexie now moves from school to school hiding who she is—who she's related to. She struggles with loving her brother, the PTSD she now suffers from, and wanting to just live a normal life. But how can she be normal when she can’t even figure out how to just live? This is a powerful look at the assumptions we make about people. Lexie's emotional journey to separate her brother's horrific act from herself is stunning and heartbreaking. This is Lexie’s story and journey—not her brother's—and it will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
