Publisher Description: Jonah wishes he could get the girl, but he's an outcast and she's the most perfect girl he knows. And their futures seemed destined to fork apart: Jonah's physical condition is debilitating, and epileptic seizures fill his life with frustration. Whereas Stormi is seemingly carefree, and navigates life by sensing things before they happen. And her most recent premonition is urging her to leave town. When Stormi begs Jonah for help, he finds himself swept into a dark mystery his small town--including his father--has been keeping for years. And the answers Stormi needs about her own past could possibly destroy everything Jonah has ever known--as well as his growing relationship with Stormi herself. Praise for Unfolding "Friesen's story unfolds with so much intrigue, swells with so much heart, I had to keep reading. And the writing? Beautiful " --Jay Asher, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling novel Thirteen Reasons Why "As someone with Tourette Syndrome, I grew up with a condition that others did not understand. It affected the way I was viewed and the way I viewed myself. I applaud Jonathan Friesen for telling a story about overcoming such a challenge in Unfolding. Hopefully, this will inspire others growing up with such conditions as well as help everyone else better understand what is involved." --Tim Howard, former US national team goaltender and current goalkeeper for the Colorado Rapids
