Jaxon Lofton's life is a fragile balancing act, juggling the demands of single fatherhood with the pressures of his teaching career. Just when he thinks he has everything under control, the past comes crashing back in the form of Ameliah Wilkins-his estranged ex-fiancée, whose battles with alcoholism have kept her at a distance. Now, she's back and determined to reconnect with their six-year-old daughter. Jaxon is initially hesitant, torn between his protective instincts and the whiff of hope that Ameliah might truly want to change. As he wrestles with his emotions and the importance of their shared history, he reaches a pivotal decision: to give her a second chance, and in doing so, risk reopening old wounds while daring to dream of healing their fractured family.

I don't know how to feel about most things." Amelia Ingridson, an individual with a stubborn mind, sarcastically humorous tongue, and a heart that doesn't understand the world.

When her grandpa uproots them to move closer to family, her reasonably comfortable life is flipped into something that she doesn't know. Her cousin Daniel and his friends, Kyle, Dolan, Cooper, and the experiences she gains from being in their band, help teach her to see reality from more than a perspective of self-blame and pity, and more from the messiness and the beauty that is within it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **trigger warning for talk of addiction/drugs, eating disorders, and mental illness** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Complete
