The language catapults us into another plane of existence one of facade and reflection. --<em>New York Times Book Review </em><br /><br />Haunting unsettling and unforgettable The Raising limns love longing belonging and the things we only think we know about life--and yes death. --Caroline Leavitt author of <em>Pictures of You</em><br /><br />From Laura Kasischke the critically acclaimed bestselling author of <em>In a Perfect World </em>and <em>The Life Before Her Eyes</em> comes a hypnotic mystery about one girl's tragic death and the fallout that occurs on her closely-knit college campus.
