E. Kerr's pioneering young adult literature has gained a devoted following for fearlessly breaking rules and confronting conformity. In \u003ci\u003eEdge\u003c\/i\u003e, her trademark gifts of pulling apart relationships, exposing real emotion, and conveying what it means to grow up are on full display. From handling a teenage girl's coming out in \"We Might as Well All Be Strangers\" to asking philosophical questions about God, life, and death in \"The Sweet Perfume of Goodbye\" to parodying social norms in \"Do You Want My Opinion?,\" this is a funny, moving, and brave anthology about faith, friendship, family ties, prom night, an unusual act of heroism, and staying true to yourself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eM.
