SYNOPSIS:
Cammie McGovern
follows up her breakout young adult debut, Say
What You Will, with this powerful and unforgettable novel about learning
from your mistakes, and learning to forgive. Told in alternating points of
view, A Step Toward Falling is a poignant, hopeful, and altogether
stunning work that will appeal to fans of Jennifer Nevin, Robyn Schneider, and
Jandy Nelson.
Emily has always been the kind of girl who tries to do the right thing—until one night when she does the worst thing possible. She sees Belinda, a classmate with developmental disabilities, being attacked. Inexplicably, she does nothing at all.
Belinda, however, manages to save herself. When their high school finds out what happened, Emily and Lucas, a football player who was also there that night, are required to perform community service at a center for disabled people. Soon, Lucas and Emily begin to feel like maybe they're starting to make a real difference. Like they would be able to do the right thing if they could do that night all over again. But can they do anything that will actually help the one person they hurt the most?
