"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." âJodi Picoult, New York Times bestselling novelist of Leaving Time and My Sisterâs Keeper
Sydney has always felt invisible. She's grown accustomed to her brother, Peyton, being the focus of the familyâs attention and, lately, concern. Peyton is handsome and charismatic, but seems bent on self-destruction. Now, after a drunk-driving accident that crippled a boy, Peytonâs serving some serious jail time, and Sydney is on her own, questioning her place in the family and the world.
Then she meets the Chatham family. Drawn into their warm, chaotic circle, Sydney experiences unquestioning acceptance for the first time. Thereâs effervescent Layla, who constantly falls for the wrong guy, Rosie, whoâs had her own fall from grace, and Mrs. Chatham, who even though ailing is the heart of the family. But itâs with older brother Macâquiet, watchful, and protectiveâthat Sydney finally feels seen, really seen, at last.
Saint Anything is Sarah Dessenâs deepest and most psychologically probing novel yet, telling an engrossing story of a girl discovering friendship, love, and herself.
