How to Make Friends with the Dark
by Kathleen Glasgow
Book Overview
Sixteen-year-old Tiger Tolliver’s life snaps in two when her fiercely protective mother dies without warning, and their last angry words still scorch. The foster system yanks her from everything familiar as she staggers through raw grief, digs up a jailed father and a half-sister she never knew, and risks everything to claim a self—and a family—that might survive the truth.
This guide maps every chapter, profiles each character, tracks recurring themes, and unpacks the novel’s most striking quotes with sharp, accessible analysis. Use it to enrich your reading of Kathleen Glasgow’s story—its structure, its voices, and the urgent questions it asks about loss, identity, and belonging.
