Description:

One early morning, Sally dies; her skull crushes into the pavement of her small town street, leaving behind her two little girls, an abusive husband, and a community of averted eyes. Exploring the conflict between Sally's luminosity and her desolation, Element of Blank exposes the intoxication of self-destruction with haunting honesty. Based on a true event, this debut novel is a tour de force study on the fragile and brutal nature of choice in the human journey.
