Dandelion Children

Aaliyah is complicated. Between a life altering event and having to move straight out the hood and into the suburbs, she feels alone and confused, stuck between worlds that she doesn't belong in. She has a loving mother, but she's constantly working in order to uphold this new lifestyle they've been forced to take on.

Eli is broken. After losing his mom, his dad turned to drinking. Nothing's been the same for him ever since. He tries to hide it behind nice smiles and fake laughs, but sometimes the mask he wears slips and reveals the scared little boy underneath.

They're a perfect match, two smashed peas in a pod. But what happens when a tragedy unlike anything they've faced before strikes their lives in a horrendous way? Most importantly, what they do, or don't do, could change their lives forever, and possibly even put them in danger. Follow them in their journey of truths, lies, and pain as they try to grow in a world that's determined to keep them down.
