Tuscaloosa (Or, in April, Harpies‪)‬

Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Esther and Kennedy Blake have barely spoken to each other all semester. Esther, a moony poet of a college freshman, is still searching for a sense of belonging, resentful to no longer be included in her sister's circle. Kennedy, a junior, is an overachiever preoccupied by sorority obligations and an uneasy reunion with her ex-boyfriend. But when a tornado tears through their college town, Esther and Kennedy must put aside their differences, risking safety and relationships to find each other in the aftermath.
