          mother’s “chew and spit” guidance. Through the drudgery and drama
          of treatment life, Shoshana and Rowan develop a fierce intimacy—and
          for Rowan, a budding infatuation, that neither girl expects.
             As “Gray Girls,” patients in the center’s Gray plan, Shoshana and
          Rowan are constantly under the nurses’ watchful eyes. They dream
          of being Blue, when they will enjoy more freedom and the knowledge
          that their days at the center are numbered. But going home means
          separating and returning to all the challenges they left behind. The
          closer Shoshana and Rowan become, the more they cling to each

          other—and their destructive patterns. Ultimately, the girls will have   Before We Were Blue
