But always being there for others can't give Johanna everything she needs--it can't give her Reeve Hartt. <p/>Reeve is fierce, beautiful, wounded, elusive; a flame that draws Johanna's fluttering moth. Johanna is determined to get her, against all advice, and to help her, against all reason. But love isn't always reasonable, right? <p/>In the precarious place where attraction and need collide, a teenager experiences the dark side of a first love, and struggles to find her way into a new light.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>JULIE ANNE PETERS is the author of the National Book Award finalist <i>Luna</i>, as well as other acclaimed young adult novels that feature the universal truths and particular challenges of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender teens. The spark for <i>Rage</i> was ignited via a why don't you write a story about . . . request from a devoted teen reader struggling with an abusive relationship. After repeatedly turning down this inquiry, Julie Anne began to feel drawn to the challenge of portraying a relationship in which both parties contribute to the dysfunction, but where redemption could seem possible and authentic. <p/>Julie Anne Peters lives with her partner, Sherri Leggett, in Lakewood, Colorado.
