In "The Shape of Thunder" by Jennifer Jill Araya, the story follows two girls, Cora and her best friend, who grapple with the aftermath of tragedy when an act of violence shatters their community. Cora is torn between her loyalty to her friend and the emotionally charged journey of healing and understanding that emerges from their shared experience. As they confront their grief and the complex realities of friendship, the narrative explores themes of loss, forgiveness, and the quest for connection in a world that feels irrevocably changed. The book poignantly captures the hope and resilience found in the face of despair. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].

Jasmine Warga lives in Mariemont, Ohio with her husband, Greg, a cat named Salvador Dali, and a puppy named Scout. She was born and raised just outside of Cincinnati, and spent her days making up stories, listening to emotive music, staring up at the night sky, and reading. She graduated from Northwestern University with a B. A. in History and Art History, and went on to teach 6th grade science at a school in Houston, Texas. In June 2013, she received a Master's in Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Lesley University. My Heart and Other Black Holes is her first novel.
