Alice Kuipers author The Death of Us book cover

The Death of Us (2014)

A gripping, emotionally charged novel about secrets, consequence, and the moment life changes forever.

When a tragic accident shatters the lives of three teens, the truth about what really happened begins to surface — and nothing, and no one, are as they first appeared. Told with tension, tenderness, and razor-sharp insight, The Death of Us is a story about love, guilt, and the dangerous weight of what we don’t say.
