A girl who whispers promises with the stained ink on her fingertips. A boy who unravels the secrets between the lines of her words. Two lives intertwined through the crinkling of Chinese takeout bags and static of phone lines. A story told through fortune cookies. <><><><><><> *This story only contains dialogue* © 2016 Kiana M.

A girl receives a letter from the mother who abandoned her years ago, leaving her to deal with the remnants of their broken family alone. She attempts to respond by bottling her emotions into the chaotic lines of poems, as old scars are reopened. &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt; dear whoever this falls into the hands of, i forgive you for your theft of my poems because i picture you as robin hood and instead of stealing riches--you collect stories taking from those with too much to say but not enough time; whose pockets are full with too many words demanding to be heard giving to those who have not found their voice; whose vocal cords have broken for fear of what may escape their lips and for that, you are more than a common criminal--but, a messenger you prefer to carry a pen rather than sandals for the black ink that stains minds is the fuel that flies you between realms i hope my story saves someone who needs it someone like me and i can help them see what once i was blinded to that hope is reborn into an infinite amount of incarnations it's all a matter of knowing where to look and this is the story of how i found it in lilies &lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt;&lt;&gt; Winner of the Young Adult Awards *lowercase is intended* *all works are completely fictional* credit for the amazing cover goes to @centrifugal
