Thank you to @_munroe for the new cover! Austin is on the run after kidnapping his little sister, "Pixie", the only thing he cares about and the only person he loves. His life consists of making money any way he can, staying alive, staying hidden, and taking care of the deeply traumatized 5-year-old. In a van that serves as both transportation and home, they're biding their time on the streets of Dallas, Texas until Austin's 18th birthday, when he hopes to adopt Pixie and save her from the nightmare that was both of their lives. Then along comes Rory, an aspiring ballerina who's falling apart behind her graceful facade. She enters Austin's life by chance and gives him something new to hold onto. From completely different worlds, they complicate each other's lives, but they might just end up saving each other.

Sixteen-year-old Kason Mills has never really been wanted. He's been passed around like baggage, from the mother he tried to save from her own battles with addiction and mental illness, to relatives who couldn't handle his outbursts, to group homes that labeled him "too much." When his mom dies, Kason finds himself once again without a place to land and a heart full of anger he can't seem to control. Armed with a duffel bag, a few broken memories, and a diagnosis list longer than his future looks, Kason is sent to live with his mom's identical sister, who can't stand who he looks like, and cousins who wish he'd stayed gone. Between his ADHD, impulsivity, and defiance, Kason's never been the kid anyone chooses to keep. But maybe ... just maybe...there's still room in the world for someone like him and allows him to believe he is still worth love, even if he feels broken..

People carry grief differently. Some let it shape them. Others let it hollow them out until there's nothing left but survival. They choose solitude, because what is the point of living when the soul is gone? Leo doesn't carry grief-he's buried beneath it. Ariella is left to watch it destroy the man her best friend loved. Two people, broken in different ways: one trying to outrun grief, the other trying to escape the pain of witnessing it.
