"Saint Anything is a poignant, honest story about how we might suffer the misfortune of someone else's bad choices, how people who love us can become family when we desperately need it, and how starting over might - miraculously - mean taking a solid leap forward." —Jodi Picoult, author of the New York Times bestselling books My Sister's Keeper and Leaving Time
Sydney had felt unseeable her whole life. She's become used to her brother Peyton being the centre of attention and, more recently, worry in the family. Peyton has a captivating appearance and a seemingly self-destructive attitude. Now that Peyton is serving a lengthy prison sentence for her drunk driving accident, which left a youngster paralysed, Sydney is on her alone and wondering where she fits within the family and the wider world.
She then gets to know the Chathams. For the first time, Sydney feels unconditional acceptance after being drawn into their friendly, tumultuous group. There's the bubbly Layla who always seems to be falling in love with the wrong person, Rosie who has seen her own fall from grace, and Mrs Chatham who, despite her illness, is the family's rock. But it's with Mac, Sydney's elder brother—quiet, protective, always on the lookout—that she feels at last genuinely noticed.
In her most profound and psychologically incisive book to date, Sarah Dessen tells the captivating tale of a girl finding herself, love, and friendship in Saint Anything.
