Homeward Bound

Home.
For most people, it's a place. A feeling. A promise.

For eighteen-year-old Sadie Louise Carver, it's a word she's never been able to claim.

After losing her parents at seven, Sadie has spent her life running-out of foster homes, out of police stations, out of shelters, and away from anyone who tries to get too close. She's convinced the world has already rejected her... and maybe she deserves it.

But when the past she's been outrunning suddenly crashes into her present, bringing danger, dark secrets, and the supernatural with it, Sadie is forced onto a cross-country journey she never asked for.
Now she's stuck with two mysterious strangers who know more than they're saying, plus her best friend and her best friend's younger brother. And for the first time, she can't run. Not if she wants to survive.

As monsters, memories, and impossible truths close in, Sadie must face the question she's spent her whole life avoiding:

What if finding a home means learning to trust the people willing to fight for you?
Because the only other option... is ending up six feet under.
