One year. For foster kid Jack Kelly, only one year stands between him and freedom. All he has to do is keep a low profile and stay out of the way of his foster dad. Everything was going fine until he was forced into the drama program, partnered for a class project with two nosy smart kids, and somehow gained the protection of the captain of the football team. Suddenly, staying under the radar becomes much more difficult.

As he deals with escalating abuse at home, his new friends begin to notice that Jack's life isn't normal and that he is far from okay.

Riley knew how to take care of himself. He wasn't good at much, but he could do that and do it well. Cycling through violence and neglect from his father, he didn't have much of a choice. When the abuse turns extreme and Riley can no longer take care of himself, he's forced to rely on the mother who abandoned him when he was five, who also has another family and doesn't appear too pleased about having him back in her life. Physically and emotionally, Riley tries to heal, only to be repeatedly knocked back down. When it comes to his mom, is there even a relationship to salvage? How many chances are too many? And at what point should he just give up and stay down like his father told him? Awesome cover art by _munroe
