Charlotte's father works for the government-she's seen enough troubled children to last her a lifetime. When a picture of a boy, who'd been missing for seventeen years, surfaces in a local store...everything changes. Kidnapped just hours after his birth, Jasper's captor held him hostage in the cellar of her home for seventeen years. He is found and rescued by none other than Jack Chandler, Charlotte's father. Right away, he's slapped with a label: a lost cause. Therapists turn him away when he fails to meet ends with them. The perpetual search for his parents hits countless dead ends. Just when everyone's seemed to give up on him, Charlotte takes matters into her own hands. She makes it her goal to save him, no matter the consequences.

❝She was a sunflower, and even though she never faced the sun, she was still beautiful.❞ When Finnegan Annson reunites with his anything-but-boring, garden-scented childhood friend Orenda May Castellano on a cold winter day, it's no secret that his uneventful life slowly alters into a marathon of new beginnings. And so begins a story about a girl that saw the world in its utmost colours and gradients, and a boy that could not see what the world really had to offer him. Literally. But when Orenda flings Finn into her world of colours and hands him a paintbrush, and their footsteps turn into dapples of colour, perhaps he can see the beauty. And maybe he can see the wonders that no one else can really see at all. After all, anybody can create a masterpiece. Even if it's just with a sucky paintbrush. © 2015 Jennifer Chen (wonder1238) All Rights Reserved
