Better Than Half (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798231652914)

Some scars aren't visible. Some grief doesn't speak. But healing always finds a way.

At just eighteen, Stacy Smith loses everything-her family, her home, and the version of herself that once believed life was safe. The fire took it all. What's left behind is a girl sifting through ashes, trying to make sense of the ruins-outside and within.

But grief doesn't follow a straight line. Some days, she wants to move on. Other days, she wishes she had perished too.

As Stacy begins to rebuild her life, she's forced to confront not just what was lost, but what's still left to live for. In the quiet, in the chaos, in the unexpected connections she forges, she learns that healing is not about forgetting-it's about remembering with love, even when it hurts.

Better Than Half is a soul-stirring novel about love, trauma, and the courage it takes to keep breathing when everything else has burned away.
