présente en quelque sorte la "morale" du texte qui suit. L'auteur souhaite ainsi initier le lecteur à une sorte de sagesse au ras du sol. Au-delà de l'anecdote, celui-ci trouvera toujours une leçon de vie à tirer. "C'est en méditant les évangiles, confie l'auteur, que m'est venue l'idée d'écrire des fables-paraboles. Jésus était un puissant communicateur. Mais ce n'est pas d'abord par sa grande éloquence qu'il attirait les foules et les retenait au point qu'elles en oubliaient de manger. C'est plutôt qu'il était un merveilleux conteur... Ses nombreuses paraboles étaient autant de manières imagées et simples de faire comprendre des choses compliquées. Elles fournissaient un enseignement qui restait gravé dans la tête et le coeur des gens et qui leur permettait de mieux vivre." -- 4e de couvGallica: l'intégrale de la trilogie

Goodman's voice is razor-sharp and keenly precise. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn!" — Tiffany D. Jackson NYT Bestselling Author of White Smoke and Grown Stella and Ellie Steckler are only a year apart, but their different personalities make their relationship complicated. Stella is single-minded, driven, and she keeps to herself. Cross-country running is her life and she won't let anything get in the way of being the best. Her sister Ellie is a talented runner too, but she also lets herself have fun. She has friends. She goes to parties. She has a life off the course. The sisters do have one thing in common, though: the new girl, Mila Keene. Both Stecklers' lives are upended when Mila comes to town. At first, Ellie and Stella view the new star athlete as a threat. But soon Ellie can't help but be drawn to her warm, charming personality. After her best friend moved away and her first boyfriend betrayed her, Ellie's been looking for a friend to share her secrets. Stella finds herself noticing the ways she and Mila are similar. Mila is smart and strong—she's someone Stella can finally connect with. As the two get closer, Stella becomes something she vowed she'd never be: distracted. With regionals approaching and college scouts taking notice, the pressure is on. Each girl has their future on the line and they won't let friendships get in their way.
