The bow - Lucy Kerr

Set in 2004, The Bow follows Angela, a young woman poised to be presented to Houston high society as a debutante. A college sorority girl, she juggles classes, parties, and a growing reliance on Adderall. After a tackle at a football game renders a player incapacitated, Angela develops an inappropriate fascination with his suffering. Angela begins a slew of debutante rehearsals and preparations, and when the debutante arrives, she transforms into a vessel through which inexplicable force descends.
