Sam Kingston is dead. Except she isn''t. On a rainy February night, Sam is
killed in a horrific car crash. But instead of seeing a tunnel of light, she
wakes up in her own bed, on the morning of the same day. Forced to live through
the same events -- the drive to school, skipping class, the fateful party -- she
struggles to alter the outcome, but wakes up again on the day of the crash. What
follows is the story of a girl who comes of age in a matter of days. Who
discovers, through heartbreaking insights, the consequences of her every action.
Of a girl who dies young, but in the process learns how to live. And who falls
in love ...a little too late.
