How do you define yourself? By your friends? Your family? Your
boyfriend? Your grades? Your trophies? Your choices? By a single choice?
From the author of the acclaimed Poisoned Apples comes a novel
in verse about a young woman and the aftermath of a life-altering
decision. Fans of Laurie Halse Anderson and Ellen Hopkins will find the
powerful questions, the difficult truths, and the inner strength that
speak to them in Ask Me How I Got Here.
Addie has always
known what she was running toward, whether in cross country, in her
all-girls Catholic school, or in love. Until she and her boyfriend—her
sensitive, good-guy boyfriend—are careless one night, and she gets
pregnant. Addie makes the difficult choice to have an abortion. And
after that—even though she knows it was the right decision for
her—nothing is the same. She doesn’t want anyone besides her parents and
her boyfriend to know what happened; she doesn’t want to run cross
country anymore; she can’t bring herself to be excited about anything.
Until she reconnects with Juliana, a former teammate who’s going through
her own dark places. Once again, Christine Heppermann writes with an
unflinching honesty and a deep sensitivity about the complexities of
being a teenager, being a woman. Her free verse poems are moving,
provocative, and often full of wry humor and a sharp wit.
