"Determined to protect her sister Tess's memory, Callie da Costa sets out to prove Tess wasn't really a saint and finds herself pulled into a kidnapping investigation"-- - Penguin Putnam
Iâll Give You the Sun meets True Detective in this brilliant YA debut about saints, sisters, and learning to let go.
Tess da Costa is a saintâa hand-to-god, miracle-producing saint. At least thatâs what the people in her hometown of New Avon, Massachusetts, seem to believe. And when Tess suddenly and tragically passes away, her small city begins feverishly petitioning the Pope to make Tessâs sainthood official. Tessâs mother is ecstatic over the fervor, while her sister Callie, the one who knew Tess best, is disgustedâovercome with the feeling that her sister is being stolen from her all over again.
Â
The fervor for Tessâs sainthood only grows when Ana Langone, a local girl whoâs been missing for six months, is found alive at the foot of one of Tessâs shrines. Itâs the final straw for Callie. With the help of Tessâs secret boyfriend Danny, Callieâs determined to prove that Tess was something far more important than a saint; she was her sister, her best friend and a girl in love with a boy. But Callieâs investigation uncovers much more than she bargained forâa hidden diary, old family secrets, and even the disturbing truth behind Anaâs kidnapping. Told in alternating perspectives, A Psalm for Lost Girls is at once funny, creepy and soulfulâan impressive debut from a rising literary star.
