My Heart And Other Breakables

This is the diary of me, Ellery Brown, aged fifteen and a half. I’m supposed to use it to record my feelings about mum, since she died. So why do I keep thinking about who my dad might be instead? 

My best friend Meg has narrowed it down to three authors my mom knew. (She was an author too.) but they’re not just in different countries; they’re on different CONTINENTS. Which means fake IDs, passports, plane tickets and somehow getting away from my self-obsessed grandmother. 

One thing’s for sure, this year is going to be interesting.
