When you buy How to Make Friends with the Dark paperback, you are engaging with Kathleen Glasgow?s visceral exploration of sudden loss and the arduous process of survival. Tiger Tolliver is a sixteen-year-old whose life is defined by her mother?until her mother is gone in an instant. The narrative follows Tiger as she is thrust into the foster care system, forced to confront a darkness that threatens to consume her entire identity while discovering family secrets she never knew existed.
This novel transcends typical young adult tropes, offering a raw and unapologetic look at the physical and psychological weight of grief. It explores themes of isolation, the complexity of mother-daughter bonds, and the slow, non-linear path toward finding light in the aftermath of tragedy. Glasgow?s prose is both stark and lyrical, capturing the erratic nature of a heart under repair without resorting to sentimentality.
This original publisher edition is essential for readers of contemporary YA fiction, collectors of emotionally resonant literature, and those seeking honest depictions of mental health.
