The Shadows That Still Haunt Me

Bobbie Harnet didn’t want to get cancer. She didn’t want to stay in a hospital bed for months. She didn’t want to return to school and see that her friends didn’t like her anymore. And, she definitely didn’t want to fall in love with the magnetic, popular, track-running, Ben, even after people told her he was bad news. But, that’s what happened.
It was fine to have a risky crush, because Ben would never love Bobbie (aka “the cancer freak”) back. Right?

Then, one of her peers is murdered, and surprisingly her crush agrees to help her find who did it. But, it’s dangerous in many ways, and Bobbie ends up almost risking her whole life for the case. Bobbie learns that first love can also be first heartbreak, and finding meaning in life also helps you find beauty and hope in the world.
