GoodReads Summary: For the past five years, Hayley Kincain and her father, Andy, have been on the road, never staying long in one place as he struggles to escape the demons that have tortured him since his return from Iraq. Now they are back in the town where he grew up so Hayley can attend school. Perhaps, for the first time, Hayley can have a normal life, put aside her own painful memories, even have a relationship with Finn, the hot guy who obviously likes her but is hiding secrets of his own. Will being back home help Andy’s PTSD, or will his terrible memories drag him to the edge of hell, and drugs push him over? The Impossible Knife of Memory is Laurie Halse Anderson at her finest: compelling, surprising, and impossible to put down. So, at a book con I went to last month this book really caught my attention. There are a lot of people who have relatives with PTS (I don't feel comfortable with adding disorder) and I really like how the author addressed this situation. She used some of her own experiences with her father, who had PTS to write the book (sadly he died a few months ago before she finished the book. The book is very interesting and despite the serious points there is comedy and romance in it. I don't know what else to put here but just one sentence didn't look like enough. So, um...... read the book. :\
