Riley knew how to take care of himself. He wasn't good at much, but he could do that and do it well. Cycling through violence and neglect from his father, he didn't have much of a choice. When the abuse turns extreme and Riley can no longer take care of himself, he's forced to rely on the mother who abandoned him when he was five, who also has another family and doesn't appear too pleased about having him back in her life. Physically and emotionally, Riley tries to heal, only to be repeatedly knocked back down. When it comes to his mom, is there even a relationship to salvage? How many chances are too many? And at what point should he just give up and stay down like his father told him? Awesome cover art by _munroe

UNDER EDITING Michigan's soccer team had once again made it to the play-offs as the returning champions. Everyone excepted them to take home the gold, but as fate would have it, they would never make it to their destination. An eighteen-wheeler collided into the bus full of Michigan's varsity soccer players. There was only one survivor, Jacob Green. Six months after the accident, Jacob now lived in Kansas. His parents were hoping to give him a fresh start, but he only fell further into grief. All he could think about is how his closest friends in the entire world were gone and he was still breathing. And for a while, that's all he thought about until his best friend, Fisher King, who had died in the accident, reappeared. Jacob couldn't seem to catch a break from the occasional panic attacks, to Coach Sanders insisting he joins the soccer team, to trying to figure out why he could sometimes see his dead best friend, and to figuring out his feelings for a girl that seemed to be caught up in it all. He didn't know how much more he could handle before he broke and it would take a girl way out of his league, a couple of cocky football players, a nagging coach and an all powerful God to help a broken boy learn the value of life again. •• #69 in OUTCAST- 2021 #32 in ATHLETE- 2021 #83 in BROKENFAMILY- 2021 #64 in JOCK- 2021 #10 in GOLDENBOY- 2022 #10 in PANICATTACKS- 2023 #24 in NERD- 2023 #8 in OUTCAST- 2023
