"It’s not a heart-grabbing noise like when somebody jiggles the doorknob to see if it’s locked.
It’s not a bitter smell like the electrical short we had last month,
when all the breakers popped. No. It’s something in the air, something
like a ghost making its way through the room. And it can’t be Monster,
not after last night.
Shawna Stone is sixteen going on twenty-five.
Already deeply scarred, she has learned to survive with a tough
attitude and a thin blade. Her journey is destined to be short. Sliding on the Edge
enters the world of a desperate teen and her disillusioned grandmother,
each with secrets that stir mutual distrust. As these two unlikely
companions struggle to co-exist we are reminded that the human spirit
has the capacity to overcome even the deepest suffering."
