The blurb: I’m Payton Blake. Just another successful twenty-something woman living the dream… OK, that’s a lie. But I could be those things, if I had friends outside of work.

The blurb: In COMA GIRL, a victim of a tragic event lies in a hospital bed, at the mercy of friends and relatives who think she can’t hear them. But she SO can.
