This gripping conclusion to the "New York Times "bestselling Crank
trilogy features a refreshed look and a trade paperback trim size.
Hunter, Autumn, and Summer--three of Kristina Snow's five
children--live in different homes, with different guardians and
different last names. They share only a predisposition for
addiction and a host of troubled feelings toward the mother who
barely knows them, a mother who has been riding with the monster,
crank, for twenty years.
Hunter is nineteen, angry, getting by in college with a job at a
radio station, a girlfriend he loves in the only way he knows how,
and the occasional party. He's struggling to understand why his
mother left him, when he unexpectedly meets his rapist father, and
things get even more complicated. Autumn lives with her single aunt
and alcoholic grandfather. When her aunt gets married, and the only
family she's ever known crumbles, Autumn's compulsive habits lead
her to drink. And the consequences of her decisions suggest that
there's more of Kristina in her than she'd like to believe. Summer
doesn't know about Hunter, Autumn, or their two youngest brothers,
Donald and David. To her, family is only abuse at the hands of her
father's girlfriends and a slew of foster parents. Doubt and
loneliness overwhelm her, and she, too, teeters on the edge of her
mother's notorious legacy. As each searches for real love and true
family, they find themselves pulled toward the one person who links
them together--Kristina, Bree, mother, addict. But it is in each
other, and in themselves, that they find the trust, the courage,
the hope to break the cycle.
Told in three voices and punctuated by news articles chronicling
the family's story, FALLOUT is the stunning conclusion to the
trilogy begun by CRANK and GLASS, and a testament to the harsh
reality that addiction is never just one person's problem.

For as long as she can remember, it’s been just Ariel and Dad. Ariel’s mom disappeared when she was a baby. Dad says home is wherever the two of them are, but Ariel is now seventeen and after years of new apartments, new schools, and new faces, all she wants is to put down some roots. Complicating things are Monica and Gabe, both of whom have stirred a different kind of desire.
Maya’s a teenager who’s run from an abusive mother right into the arms of an older man she thinks she can trust. But now she’s isolated with a baby on the way, and life’s getting more complicated than Maya ever could have imagined.
Ariel and Maya’s lives collide unexpectedly when Ariel’s mother shows up out of the blue with wild accusations: Ariel wasn’t abandoned. Her father kidnapped her fourteen years ago.
In bestselling author Ellen Hopkins’s deft hands, Ariel’s emotionally charged journey to find out the truth of who she really is balances beautifully with Maya’s story of loss and redemption. This is a memorable portrait of two young women trying to make sense of their lives and coming face to face with themselves—for both the last and the very first time.
