Hitch Your Wagon To A Star
23 parts Complete -COMPLETED-
❝Hitch your wagon to a star.❞ -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Clark Jones's uncle just died. Having to juggle the loss of his closest family member and high school, Clark struggles to find the rainbow in life he encourages others to chase. He just wants to run away to Cape Canaveral with his best friend Maya where they can live their dream of working at NASA.
While Clark struggles with the loss of his uncle, Maya Edwards deals with her own issues. Her dad is a drunk, her mom is a drug addict, and she faces bullies at school because she wears whatever the hell she wants-mostly Halloween costumes. Her quirky personality helps Clark get over his loss through their friendship and mutual love of the stars, but what happens when their feelings become more?
Their new relationship is a difficult transition, but they're willing to work through their own pain to create something wonderful. Promising Maya the universe, Clark tries to give her the life she deserves. Adventures happen, secrets come out, and a loss larger than his uncle's shakes the lives of these two teens that fall in love under the stars.
