Product Description When a fatal car accident changes her life, Ohio schoolteacher Justine feels responsible for the American Indian child who has now lost her mother. But the sweet-faced seven-year-old isnt a typical young girl, and she looks like no one Justine has ever seen. The child is critically underweight and has been starving herself for the past two years - and to help her, Justine will need to uncover a deeply guarded secret - and she knows there isnt much time. With drama, mystery, and suspense, The Fragile Lion follows the story of a woman who must reconcile the unwanted past that comes to find her, the secrets she herself hides, and the endless lies that keep her safe. As she does, she will find herself abandoning everything that was once important to her, while fighting to save a troubled young girl's life, and hoping it will be enough. The Fragile Lion is an emotionally riveting story for readers who enjoy books such as My Sisters Keeper, The Lovely Bones, or The Fault in Our Stars. About the Author Mark Darley has spent the last dozen years working at a prestigious library in Southern California, using his free time to write novels and short stories. He lives in a quiet cottage in the hills, often locked away in his office, and his grateful wife almost never knows he's there.
