Aleisha is escaping her old life in order to find a home and safety in a new town, away from everything she's ever known, under the roof of a couple she has only encountered once before. She knew that creating a new identity for herself would be hard as she sought out a better life for herself, but it seems even harder than she originally expected. Especially when memories of her past continue to haunt her every moment. Not to mention an increasingly curious boy in this odd town, who seems more determined to get her to talk than anyone else she's ever met. Will she be able to cope with the secrets she uncovers about this town and about herself? Or will she fall prey to the haunting memories of what her life once was?

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023
