Book Synopsis
When Tess Porter agrees to pick up her boyfriend's college pal at the airport on a snowy December night, she has no idea she's about to embark on the most dangerous ride of her life. Two days later, the 17-year-old wakes up in a hospital with broken bones, and unable to remember how she got there. Her parents are acting strangely, and neither James, her boyfriend, nor her best friend Izzy has visited. As she struggles to physically recover, Tess wrestles with haunting questions: What happened? Will her memory ever return? and what if she's better off not recalling any of it?

"At first glance, He'll Be Waiting appears to be just another young adult thriller, but the novel is so much more. Alterman seamlessly weaves in a heartwarming coming of age plot about grief, trauma, and love with an edge of your seat thriller filled with dynamic and unforgettable primary and secondary characters. I gobbled up He'll Be Waiting in one sitting and days later, I'm still thinking about specific scenes and characters. He'll Be Waiting is a must read for both adults and teens." - Keri Kelly, award-winning author and comedy writer
