For Gale Cerrera, home is not a safe place. Constantly hearing your parents curse and fight is not exactly ideal for a child, but these were the cards she had been dealt. Determined to escape, she tries everything, from joining the school paper to getting a part-time job. Nothing works. Until she meets Ethan. Ethan Zamora is an outcast ─ bullied at school, counseled by an incompetent counselor, and haunted by nightmares from his past. He, too, desperately needs an escape. Through poems, books, and Gale's alluring charm, he finds solace and the freedom to be himself. Every night, Gale and Ethan meet in the woods and sit by an angel statue, sharing their secrets and healing each other's wounds. Together, they learn that the only way to truly escape is to confront what they're running from. As they face the harsh realities they've long avoided, will their friendship survive the storm, or will they find something even deeper?
