    • Amy loves Matthew and he loves her back. This is their story. Amy is unflinchingly honest about her limitations. Born with cerebral palsy, she can’t walk or talk without help. But trapped inside this uncooperative body lies a brilliant mind and a luminous spirit – a girl capable of truly loving and worthy of being loved in return. Matthew has his own set of challenges – a mind consumed by unwanted repeated thoughts, obsessive rituals and a crippling fear that he can't explain. But underneath all of the anxiety lies a deep seed of hope for someone to come along who believes in him... This is the story of Amy and Matthew. It may not be a fairy tale romance or set in an imagined world far from our own. But the love they share is real. And yes, there's magic in it.

      Non ci sono stati spari, né grida. Eppure, nella bella villetta del quartiere residenziale di Juniper Lane, Linda Sue giace a terra con la testa fracassata. Betsy Treading, la sua vicina di casa, è accanto al corpo, con la camicia da notte sporca di sangue. Betsy soffre di sonnambulismo. Non sa perché si è risvegliata lì, né sa cosa sia successo a Linda Sue. Per la polizia è molto facile accusarla dell’omicidio. Dodici anni dopo, Betsy esce di prigione. Ancora non sa chi abbia davvero ucciso Linda Sue, ma vuole scoprirlo. Durante tutti quei lunghi anni di carcere solo una persona le è rimasta accanto, Marianne, che viveva nella villetta di fi anco. Ed è proprio da lei che Betsy si rifugia per capire cosa c’è dietro quell’orribile delitto perché troppe sono le tessere del puzzle che non combaciano.
