Life is hard. School, friends, work, stress, and family. All these things get trapped inside of you until you can't take it any longer and you just crack.
Scarlet Parker's life is far from perfect, anxiety and life knock her down every day. She tries to hide behind a wall of emotions, but the power of hidden secrets and lies that she's been told knocks her down to the breaking point. Her manageable life gets buried under the darkness of all she has left and there seems to be no way out of the dark. Can she find her way back and face reality head on? Now that everything is gone, is she gone too?
~Sometimes when things are falling apart they may actually be falling into place~
Beatrice Anderson has never lived a normal life. Living in a town where gangs run wild and no one seems to follow the law Beatrice has become quite a rambunctious kid. Her parents were never really there for her and her siblings and their parenting skills were sketchy at best. But she has always had her brothers behind her. While having absent parents was hard on the siblings that just made their bond grow stronger and stronger making them quite a tight nit bunch.
Beatrice knows this is not a normal life. But this is her life and she has learned to accept that. She has learned to run with the tide and not fall behind. Not only in a world where she has to keep up with her older brothers but to keep up in the illegal world.
In Beatrice's world you've got to run or be left in the dust. While staying away from police officers trying to send her and her underaged siblings off to foster care, making sure you don't get too deep into gang affairs, and being independent yet still keeping trust and honesty within your family.
But what happens when hidden secrets come out from more than one family member, tensions run high, and they realize they don't know nearly enough about each other than they thought.
It's gonna be a hell of a ride.
