During a hot Arizona summer volunteering at a nursing home, troubled teen Dudley and eccentric newbie Naya find themselves growing closer over the poems of a mysterious elderly woman with dementia who disappeared decades ago. ***** Dudley Warrington is barely getting by. Haunted by the tragic death of his mother and heartbroken from a recent breakup, each day is a struggle. When he finds himself paired with quirky new student Naya Stephens for a volunteer programme at a local nursing home, Dudley expects a long, boring summer. What he doesn't expect is Marie Von Delden, a mysterious resident with dementia who disappeared in another state over forty years ago under a different name. A former aspiring poet, Marie can't recall anything about where she went, but her poems give the teens a glimpse into the life she may have had. Connected by a shared mission and a similar desire to escape their dark secrets, Dudley and Naya soon discover the true challenge may not be in unraveling the past, but in determining their own futures.
