Claire learned many things through the death of her mom; her Realizations of Loss, how to pretend you're fine, and how to run from the past. Taken in by aunt and moved to the small town of Brookedale on the North Carolina coast, Claire wanted to escape the pain and the life she found herself living. Having become a recluse, she struggles to reconnect with the town her mom grew up in and she had once loved herself. She attempts to find herself again, reignite the light in her, but she finds herself confronting the haunting past every time she seems to get better. Told through the lenses of a teenager dealing with tragic loss, this story explores the complexity of someone grieving not only a loved one, but a life they once had.
