loose cannon - a person whose actions are unpredictable and uncontrollable - a person who plays by his own rules - - - Combine the right blend of witty and wild and you get Kaleb Winters. He's reckless, impulsive and a trouble maker. He does what he wants without thinking of the consequences. What do you get when you mix crazy and controlling? Julianne Lake, a control freak. She wants everything around her perfect and orderly, she wants nothing out of place. When a certain trip to a book store brings them together, it starts an unlikely friendship. But then again, what happens when someone uncontrollable meets a very controlling person?

Lennon Carter is a newly eighteen year old that's ready to get away from all she's ever known. She doesn't want to think about what happened, or even acknowledge the fact that it ever happened. Packing up the essentials and her credit card, she heads for the big open road without a plan insight. The plan comes to her from a strange suburban dad after a few days of aimlessly driving down the highway in the form of a paper town. Elliston is where all the nomads come together, a pit stop of sorts for the misguided. Anything is impossible in those woods because reality is no match for the time of Lennon's life. She's about to learn that freedom may come along with a bit of a young adult's romance novel plot line starring her and a boy just as screwed up as her, Jude Love.
