The novel “Hate You” is about a 17 year old girl named Alice Silvers who has a lot of reasons to hate her life. Alice’s abusive father left the family long ago and hasn't been in contact with her since. Alice’s mother is a flighty stage designer who treats Alice more like a chummy girlfriend than a daughter. While she is a talented songwriter, Alice is constantly frustrated by the fact that she has a "Frankenstein voice, all cracked, scratched and broken," and can't sing her own lyrics, all because of the abuse she suffered at the hands of her father when she was a child. When Alice discovers that her hated father is dying in a hospital only two hours away, she is forced to look forgiveness in the face for the first time and decide whether she has the power within herself to change her mind.
