Make Believe: A Novel (Unabridged‪)‬

Jennifer Hall, a mental health counselor, arrives in a desert town after the death of the third student at Lincoln High. The third tragedy. The third memorial service. The third suicide. No Note, no answers. Jennifer counsels the students and community through their grief and with every passing day in Lincoln, her own pain slowly begins to creep back in. The kind of pain where you can't forgive oneself. With an alcoholic father and self-absorbed mother, Tyler Tuckerman prefers the world he sees through his camera lens. Drifting through life unnoticed in solace, clutching to a memory of his first love and his warm blue eyes he captured many summers ago. Desperately trying to feel alive again, to be loved again. 

Will Tyler ever feel seen and understood? Can Jennifer truly help these underprivileged students, their destructive parents, and bring closure by answering the only question - why are the students at Lincoln High dying by suicide?"
