CrystalAppletree
Crystal Appletree is desperate...desperate to find out where she belongs, desperate to find her half-brother and desperate to get away from her foster home. A decade earlier she was moved 300 miles to protect her from the 'rotten apples' that she believes still love her: a mother who couldn't care for her, a crime boss grandmother and a violent drug-dealing brother. They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. So will she discover that she is just like them? Or will she realise that her boyfriend and bestfriend Josh, who is helping Crystal on her quest, is not the wasteman everyone says he is...and that there is a difference between longing for a family and belonging in one, particularly one that doesn't seem to want her back.
