Praise for Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands : "I have a new favorite Chris Bohjalian novel. Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands is a book I wish I'd been smart enough to write: a masterpiece of narrative voice, of emotion, and of how - as Emily Dickinson might say - the sparest of words can hold a wealth of pain. If you need any proof that fiction can scare us, move us, and break our hearts simultaneously - look no further." - Jodi Picoult "Bohjalian once again reveals an uncanny talent for crafting a young female protagonist who is fatally flawed, but nevertheless immensely likable . . . resonates with a message of hope, truth and the fragility of life." - Karen Ann Cullotta, Bookpage "Wrenching . . . Emily's voice is a compelling one... and hers is a journey readers will avidly follow." - Kirkus "In his sixteenth novel, the versatile Bohjalian has Emily tell her harrowing, tragic story retrospectively . . . [A] brave saga." - Booklist "Emily's story is both heartbreaking and frightening. . . The book rings with poetry and truth." - Jeanne Bogino, Library Journal "Bohjalian's impressive 16th novel charts the life of a teenage girl after a nuclear disaster . . . Through her first-person narration, readers become intimately familiar with Emily . . . Her admiration for kindred spirit Emily Dickinson serves to humanize her plight, as does an epiphany in the books' bittersweet conclusion." - Publishers Weekly, Praise for Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands : "Emily's story is both heartbreaking and frightening...The book rings with poetry and truth." - Jeanne Bogino, Library Journal "I have a new favorite Chris Bohjalian novel.

Synopsis
A heartbreaking, wildly inventive, and moving novel narrated by a teenage runaway, from the bestselling author of"Midwives"and"The Sandcastle Girls." "Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands"is the story of Emily Shepard, a homeless teen living in an igloo made of ice and trash bags filled with frozen leaves. Half a year earlier, a nuclear plant in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom had experienced a cataclysmic meltdown, and both of Emily's parents were killed. Devastatingly, her father was in charge of the plant, and the meltdown may have been his fault. Was he drunk when it happened? Thousands of people are forced to flee their homes in the Kingdom; rivers and forests are destroyed; and Emily feels certain that as the daughter of the most hated man in America, she is in danger. So instead of following the social workers and her classmates after the meltdown, Emily takes off on her own for Burlington, where she survives by stealing, sleeping on the floor of a drug dealer's apartment, and inventing a new identity for herself -- an identity inspired by her favorite poet, Emily Dickinson. When Emily befriends a young homeless boy named Cameron, she protects him with a ferocity she didn't know she had. But she still can't outrun her past, can't escape her grief, can't hide forever and so she comes up with the only plan that she can. A story of loss, adventure, and the search for friendship in the wake of catastrophe, "Close Your Eyes, Hold Hands"is one of Chris Bohjalian s finest novels to date breathtaking, wise, and utterly transporting.", A heartbreaking, wildly inventive, and moving novel narrated by a teenage runaway, from the bestselling author of Midwives and The Sandcastle Girls .
