Joyce Brown, a 24-year-old architecture student and a young mother, had to provide for her needs and those of her children, James and Louis. It was a complex equation she struggled to solve. The young woman with an unconventional life had already experienced far too much for her age. Her need for respite, to find herself, had become increasingly prominent. Her nightmares had resurfaced, and her sorrow had grown day by day, unaffected by her cigarettes. She needed another escape.
Chris Jones, a 28-year-old aspiring doctor, had everything going for him, and he was aware of it. But that year, he had wanted to prove that success was achievable if one put in the effort, regardless of where they came from. Hardships? He had been familiar with them. His biggest dream? To rescue his nine-year-old sister from their greatest tormentors: Daniel and Helen Jones, their parents.
Joyce had lost her childlike spirit abruptly, far too quickly, without being prepared for it. She had needed to be mended. Chris was never really a child. He had needed to be patched up. Scarred by life, burned by human interactions, the two adults had lost their way along the journey. But not all had been lost yet.
Lena was the girl that everyone wanted to be friends with, and every boy wanted to be with. She; however, only had two close friends she considered to be family.
After the death of her father, Lena struggles with coping with the tragedy. It seems as if all of her problems are solved when the new neighbors move in next door.
The neighbor's son, Micah, happens to be the same age as Lena. After meeting in group therapy, the two seem to hit it off, right?
The struggles of trauma, growing up, finding who you truly are, and mental health comes with being a teenager. Can the two piece each other back together, or will all hell break loose?
Oh baby... this isn't a gushy cliche.
