Product Description
by Karen Kingsbury (Author)
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Karen Kingsbury comes a moving small-town story about an unlikely friendship between a popular cheerleader and a teenage boy with autism--and the miracle that unfolds when someone dares to take a stand.
Holden Harris may live in a quiet, private world of his own, but inside, he's happy and connected. At eighteen, though, his autism makes him a target of daily bullying at school. When Ella Reynolds--part of the in-crowd and star of the drama production--discovers that Holden was once her childhood best friend, she begins to see beyond the labels. Drawn together by music and a shared past, Ella risks her popularity to stand against cruelty, even when it means confronting her own boyfriend and peers.
Inspiring and heartfelt, Unlocked is a powerful reminder of the difference one person's courage can make. With a reading group guide and a personal letter from the author, this standalone novel is perfect for book clubs and makes a meaningful gift for readers who believe in the power of friendship, faith, and miracles.
