Ayla's world was shattered in an instant. After surviving a tragic accident that claimed her entire family, she's trapped-both physically in a mental hospital and emotionally in a storm of grief and anger.
Carter is on the run from a past that keeps pulling him back, labeled a criminal by a system that won't see the truth. At nineteen, his dreams of love and a fresh start seem impossible.
As the last petals fall, both must confront the darkness within and around them - can they find light, hope, and maybe even love before it's too late?
Petals unpacks grief, mental illness, and the redemptive power of connection in a world that's quick to judge but slow to understand.
