Splintered

Alyssa Gardner is sixteen and can hear bugs and flowers whispering. Her mother heard the same voices and was committed to a mental hospital for it. Alyssa has grown up certain that the same fate is waiting for her.

Her family has been cursed for generations, and the curse traces back to Alice Liddell, the real girl behind Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. When her mother's condition worsens, Alyssa learns that Lewis Carroll's story grew out of something far darker than a children's tale.

To end the curse, she has to enter a twisted Wonderland and complete a series of tasks that repair the mistakes Alice made. Two people pull at her along the way. Jeb is her best friend and a secret crush. Morpheus is her guide, and he is suspicious and hard to read.

The first book in the Splintered series, a young adult fantasy retelling, leaves Alyssa with a choice of whom to trust while her mother's sanity, and her own, hang on the outcome.
