Killing Isabelle.

''I'm sorry Mrs. Munro, I'm afraid we have to inform you that your husband is missing.''

The words that meant the beginning of life as Isabelle had always known it. It was a little over one year ago now that the officers of the US army had come to her front door informing her that her father was taken hostage in Iraq. Still no sign of his location ever since. Weeks and months had passed by and it had gotten harder to keep faith. When Isabelle's mother slowly becomes more unstable Isabelle realizes she is all on her own.

Struggling to keep her head above water, grieving with the loss of both her parents the innocent and carefree Izzy slowly starts to disappear. But what happens when Aiden and Eli move into town, their family keeping a secret of their own? Will the boys be able to help Izzy overcome her problems or will she follow in her mother’s footsteps and loose herself in her suffocating lifestyle?
