Sinopsis/Synopsis:

Parker Frost belum pernah mengambil risiko. Dia akan lulus dari SMA sebelum sempat mencium cowok yang dia sukai. Jadi, saat nasib menjatuhkan buku catatan Julianna Farnetti ke pangkuannya—buku catatan yang mungkin bisa membongkar misteri kota tempat tinggalnya—Parker memutuskan untuk mengambil kesempatan itu.

Julianna Farnetti dan Shane Cruz dikenang sebagai pasangan ideal di SMA Summit Lakes, sempurna dalam segala hal. Mereka meninggal dalam kecelakaan di malam bersalju, meninggalkan hanya sebuah kalung, dan tanpa jenazah. Tidak ada yang tahu apa yang sebenarnya terjadi malam itu. Hanya saja, tidak semua kebenaran ingin ditemukan…

Seventeen-year-old Parker Frost has never taken the road less traveled. Valedictorian and quintessential good girl, she’s about to graduate high school without ever having kissed her crush or broken the rules. So when fate drops a clue in her lap—one that might be the key to unraveling a town mystery—she decides to take a chance.

Julianna Farnetti and Shane Cruz are remembered as the golden couple of Summit Lakes High—perfect in every way, meant to be together forever. But Julianna’s journal tells a different story—one of doubts about Shane and a forbidden romance with an older, artistic guy. These are the secrets that were swept away with her the night that Shane’s jeep plunged into an icy river, leaving behind a grieving town and no bodies to bury.

Reading Julianna’s journal gives Parker the courage to start to really live—and it also gives her reasons to question what really happened the night of the accident. Armed with clues from the past, Parker enlists the help of her best friend, Kat, and Trevor, her longtime crush, to track down some leads. The mystery ends up taking Parker places that she never could have imagined. And she soon finds that taking the road less traveled makes all the difference.

Sinopsis/Synopsis:

‘Hank’ tersadar di Stasiun Penn, New York tanpa ingatan. Pemuda berumur tujuh belas tahun itu tidak tahu namanya, siapa dirinya, dan dari mana ia berasal. Satu-satunya petunjuk yang ia miliki adalah sebuah buku berjudul ‘Walden’ karya Henry David Thoreau yang ada di tangannya. Menggunakan buku itu, ia mencoba mencari jati dirinya. Dapatkah ia mengingat kembali siapa dirinya?

Atau lebih baik ia tidak mengingatnya sama sekali?

Seventeen-year-old “Hank” has found himself at Penn Station in New York City with no memory of anything –who he is, where he came from, why he’s running away. His only possession is a worn copy of Walden, by Henry David Thoreau. And so he becomes Henry David-or “Hank” and takes first to the streets, and then to the only destination he can think of–Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. Cal Armistead’s remarkable debut novel is about a teen in search of himself. Hank begins to piece together recollections from his past. The only way Hank can discover his present is to face up to the realities of his grievous memories. He must come to terms with the tragedy of his past, to stop running, and to find his way home.
