In "All We Know of Heaven" by Jacquelyn Mitchard, the lives of two teenage girls, Maureen and her best friend, are forever changed when a tragic car accident leaves one in a coma and the other grappling with guilt and questions about life, loss, and identity. As the story unravels, it explores the deep bond between the girls, the impact of family and friendships, and the journey of healing and self-discovery. With themes of love, sacrifice, and the search for meaning amidst grief, the novel captures the essence of navigating life's challenges and the enduring spirit of hope.
