Ever Bloom

Ever Bloom is the sixteen-year-old narrator of the story. Ever was in the car with her parents and sister when a deer jumped in front of them, causing an accident that kills the entire family. Ever would also have died except that she lingered and was revived. Ever's life after the crash is vastly different. Taken in by her aunt - her only biological relative - Ever has all the possessions money can buy. But she also has a strong psychic ability. She avoids touch because the emotions, thoughts, and memories of others wash over her even at the most casual touch. She can also see the auras of others which gives her a great deal of information about people. The impressions are so overpowering that Ever has developed the habit of wearing sweatshirts with hoods to hide the fact that she's listening to hard rock music...
