18-year-old May has been wondering about her parents all her life. Orphaned at the tender age of nine, her only memories of them are the two photographs that she has of them. Having been told that they had passed away in a terrible boating accident in Brighton, May had always avoided boating in general.
One day, May is told a secret that will forever change her life. Seven words that made her world turn upside-down.
"Your parents didn't die in an accident."
Determined to find out the identity of the man who told her this, discover what really happened to her parents, and if they even did die, May goes on an adventure that taught her things, both good and bad, and finally shed some light on the truth.
Did May's parents really die? Or did something even worse happen?
Cara Williams has always been, well, unlucky, to put it lightly.
Her parents divorced when she was only 5 years old, after her father failed to pay off his debt he was already in when her mom and him married.
Cara has also never been the "popular" type, burying her nose into books instead of drama. Despite being very athletic, nobody pays any attention to her at school, and frankly, not at home either. With your mom working night shifts and always being hungover, how are you expected to get any attention?
To fulfill her extra time, Cara has turned to training her mini pony Oreo, the only possession she has left from her dad, and the only one who seems to care.
One day, while fetching the mail, Cara finds an old envelope in her mailbox addressed to her. Inside, she finds a letter written by someone who seems to have their own share of problems. The writer remains anonymous, but gives Cara something to think about. Who is the writer, and will Cara ever know?
Or will she only wonder?
