Moving homes, leaving behind what little stability she has left, Be tries to hold herself together even as life keeps pulling her forward. Amid the chaos, she meets a boy bearing wounds deeper than anyone else can see-and yet magnetic.

As Be struggles to protect those she loves and find her footing in a life defined by loss and upheaval, she discovers that some connections shouldn't be ignored, some changes can't be avoided, and that the hardest part of growing up is learning to move forward even when every fiber of you wants to stay still.
