"This is not a romance. But it is a love story."
It's like this: Chance Piers' beloved niece, Chassi, is the main thing keeping his family together- they've promised to stay together for as long as she lives. But when a trip to the ER sends social services to their door demanding their niece, the Piers are given an ultimatum. They can find Chassi's mother, the boys' runaway sister, or they can give her away and chase their dreams.
In all of his sixteen years of life, Chance's brothers have taught him to persevere no matter the circumstances, but life has changed tactics: instead of trying to beat them down, it's trying to break them apart.
