For Ash Griffen, a quiet home is a foreign concept. His parents ignore him while his siblings struggle to cope in the unique situation they've been given. Ash is no exception. He steals from stores to get attention. He believes it's the only way.

But his theory ends up sending him on another mad-dash from the cops, one that this time, lands him straight into the bedroom of Eleanor Mitchell.

He's everything her parents have warned her about, the type of person that's to be avoided. Yet she's curious as to what makes him so free. 

Curiosity killed the cat you know.

Over the course of five days, the two go through so many ups and downs while following their now intertwined paths. With the help of Ash's best friend Zeke and Eleanor's childhood friend Ian, they go on a journey that tests upbringings, stereotypes, and most of all, each other.

A story about self discovery and first love, "Flightless" is sure to take your reading experience to new heights.
