If Morgan thought her life was tough before - what with a drug-addicted, klepto brother and a cradle-robbing mother - it just got worse. Last night, her close friend Jason took his own life. Smart, funny, a good listener, and perfect in just about every way, Jason Harding is gone forever.
SOMEONE PLEASE WAKE ME FROM THIS NIGHTMARE.
Jason's death sends Morgan reeling. She copes - or tries to - by attempting to piece together vague clues that might explain her friend's suicide. Making matters worse, Morgan can't help but feel responsible because she wasn't there for her friend when he needed her most. Sometimes she thinks maybe Jason had the right idea all along. Morgan feels lost in a pitch-black abyss and her only way out is to turn back to the one Friend who will never leave her.

"Admit it. At one point or another, we've all felt hopeless. We've
even thought about suicide. Everyone thinks about it but hardly anyone
talks about it. Pitch Black provides readers with a needed safe
place to wrestle with their struggles. Then it helps them find hopeful
answersl"
