Touching Earth Lightly (Electronic book text)

A confronting, intensely moving story about the intricate bonds of friendship, the shock of a brutal death, the slow torment of grief, and the seeds of happiness. "Her life had only Janey, and Janey took up all the room in it and more when she was there, but she left a whole lot empty when she wasn't."
Janey's background is grim, lock-the-door-at-night type grim, but nothing weighs her down for long. She's wild, sexy, reckless, funny and original. Being friends with Janey is a roller-coaster ride - never dull, often risky.
Chloe is the steady one; anchored by her family, she anchors Janey, as much as she can. But just how fr does the friendship go? That question is shockingly, brutally answered when Janey's grim world catches up with her.
An extraordinary story of friendship, loss and love, from the author of "The Best Thing."
