She's managed to fool her friends, her parents, and her teachers, yet she can't even say his name out loud: "N--" is as far as she can go. Then Tallie comes across a letter in the mail, and it only takes two words to crack the careful façade she's built up: ORGAN DONOR. Two words that had apparently been checked off on her brother's driver's license; two words that her parents knew about--and never revealed to her. All at once, everything Tallie thought she understood about her brother's death feels like a lie.
