***AVAILABLE AS A PAPERBACK!!! On Amazon!*** Wynn is hoping to escape her mother, and the sinkhole of grief that has swallowed her house. She feels as though she is going to spontaneously combust; she can no longer brave the death of her older sister while simultaneously dealing with her mother's irksome coping methods. Ross is hoping to find the last thing his mother left behind...one of the only things not destroyed in the fire. He's been compiling the stories that his mother told him for years now, and he hopes to use them to find the answers-and the necklace-that he's looking for. So they both head to the lake for vacation. Wynn's father hopes that the lake will help her reconnect with nature-and with herself-before she heads off to college. Ross hopes to explore the location of his parent's honeymoon, and to experience the setting of his mother's stories in person. What neither of them expect, however, is each other. Crossing paths, Ross and Wynn discover something that will change their lives forever. Through their week spent as next door neighbors in two small cabins on a lake, they realize that grief is magnetic, and that life isn't meant to be lived alone.Complete
