Something Like Hope

Seventeen-year-old Caleb White thought escape meant safety. After his stepfather's arrest and imprisonment for years of brutal abuse, he inherits his mother's estate and flees England for a small Pacific Northwest town chosen by nothing more than a dart thrown at a map. Forks, Washington is supposed to be his fresh start-a place where no one knows his scars, where he can fade into invisibility and finally heal.

But Caleb's carefully constructed walls begin to crumble the moment he meets Bella Swan, another traumatized teenager who recognizes the pain in him because she carries her own. As genuine friendship blooms for the first time in years, Caleb discovers that connection might be worth risking his carefully guarded heart. Then comes Damon Cullen-beautiful, mysterious, and impossibly drawn to the broken British boy who can barely stand to be touched.

In a town hiding impossible secrets, Caleb must learn that healing isn't about disappearing. It's about learning to be seen.
