[Watty's 2014 entry]

One girl’s pursuit of happiness beyond her barricaded settlement turns into a battle to endure the harsh realities that wait on the other side.

Mila knew once sneaking outside the Safe Zone, she would never go back.  A chance to leave a radioactive Earth is a risk worth taking, or so she thinks. No longer will she stargaze high up top her roof wishing it was her chosen as an Outrider to the savior planet, Juno. Instead, she leaves behind foster siblings to run away with her boyfriend, Chase. Together, they’ll leave it all behind to win a flight in the Draw, hidden someplace inside Steel City – a city more dangerous then she has ever imagined.

Mila realizes getting off the planet is only half the battle.All Rights Reserved

Returning to his normal life after being released from the hospital is hard, especially since his parent's idea of normal is made up of dinner parties, prep school, fancy suits, and fake manners-- all paired with a complete disregard for the mental health of their firstborn. He's long been fed up with it, but the final straw is when he finds out that his "father" isn't actually his father at all. Oliver decides he's had enough of the perfect facade, so he packs a suitcase and grabs his younger brother, "borrowing" his mother's car to sneak off on a trip to find his biological father. But he never expected to pick up a girl with her own similar set of problems, to be followed across the country by a money-hungry pair of criminals, or most of all, to find out that maybe this life thing isn't as bad as he thought.
