Sea of Glass

By Patrick Shattuck

The paperweight wasn't supposed to whisper secrets.

Shannon Delaney always lived in the shadow of her twin sister, Sarah. Sarah is brilliant, beautiful, and bound for Berkeley, while Shannon is unsure, overlooked, and heading nowhere fast. The only thing that's ever been hers is Frankie-her best friend since fifth grade, the one boy who saw her for who she really was.

But now Frankie is slipping away, drawn into Sarah's orbit as they compete together in a high-stakes math tournament. Then something strange happens. A mysterious blue light glows from an old glass paperweight by Shannon's bed, revealing ghostly visions-of snow, of love, of heartbreak. She tries to convince herself it's just a dream, but the feeling won't fade. The glass may be showing her the truth.

As Shannon watches her world shift-her sister's secrets, Frankie's choices, her own unraveling sense of self-one thing becomes clear: the hardest truths aren't always the ones others hide. They're the ones buried inside.
