Socially awkward, anxious Erin Young moves to Briar Cove with her mother, little brother and her peculiar grandmother.

Her path soon crosses with that of the quirky, often rowdy Briar Cove clan. Will the wacky bunch help her get over her guilt of past mistakes and heal from the trauma of being bullied, or will they drive her over the edge where she's hanging on for dear life?

Will she finally find a home for her heart in a place filled with warmth, love and friendship... possibly even romance?

Looking at the crowd of weirdos now part of her life, Erin wonders too.

This is a stand-alone spin-off written in collaboration with Jeandré Maritz (@RoxyMdp83), creator of fun stories, such as Steampunk Heroes.

TW: This book contains references and scenes about bullying, self-harm and attempted suicide.
