Me (and) Me

It’s Lark’s 17th birthday, the weather is stunning and she’s got a date with gorgeous Alec. But while in a canoe out on the lake, Lark hears screaming. Annabelle, a little girl she used to babysit, is drowning. Lark and Alec both dive in. But Alec hits his head on a rock in the water. Alec and Annabelle are drowning. And Lark can save only one of them. Lark chooses, and in that moment her world splits into two distinct lives. She must live with the consequences of both choices. Lark has to decide: which life is the right one?
