As we start, Maia finds herself having to be the bearer of bad news on behalf of her best friend, Nessa, who's ex boyfriend is threatening to sue due to unpaid bills during their relationship. Knowing Nessa is going to chicken out, she feels it's her duty to stand up for her friend. For as in the words of Elle Woods: "Ladies it's a fact, that when you're attacked, you've got to respond." Or something like that. This hunt for a stranger Maia has never met embarks her on a path of learning she never thought she'd need. As her feet push one by one on the peddles of her 1992 Trek bike, she realizes that she has been on the road for 24 hours and hasn't moved, nor has she realized the passing of time. Trying to figure out what happened, or where she is, she meets Harlyn, and together the two embark on a new journey to find the ex. Since turning 23, Aria has felt that adulthood has passed her by, but here she learns that it has just been waiting for her, if she is willing to accept it. Along the way, she meets many interesting people, sees much oppression, and witnesses some historic events that all put her life into a whole new perspective.
I have restarted this book. I wanted to make it easier to read and more enjoyable. I hope to make shorter chapters and update frequently. :)
In the beginning Sylar has no name. No one cares. She's just another kid to fall into a system because she was an unwanted mess. A child that doesn't talk? Yea, no one care about that either. A shady group home filled with bullies and secrets? Yea, you guessed NO ONE CARES! To find friends in a place like this is unlikely. This place is built to feed off the fears of kids and their lack of parental role models. No one holds on to dreams for long in a place like this. You get placed here and you are as good as forgotten.
Except when a couple shows up looking as out of place as an astronaut in a gold mine or a miner in space whichever one you prefer.
This couple comes and shakes things up. Good or Bad has yet to be decided...only someone's bound to get hurt, someone's bound to be broken.
The only question is will the wounds heal or fester and kill?
