The New Girl

Zion Marie Rogers was, for lack of better words, angry

Angry that her mother worked so much
Angry that her father was never there
Angry that her brother was killed
Angry that her best friend killed herself
And angry that the world seemed like it was trying to kill her.

Uriah Middleton was angry too

Angry that his father died
Angry that he had to be the man of the house even though he was just a boy
Angry that he always felt the need to camouflage his true feelings
Angry that his home had become a treasure chest filled with secrets
And angry that his heart had been broken so many times he almost forgot how to love.

Zion has a start at a new school, in a new town and a new state. She just wants to get through her senior year problem free. That all changes when she meets Uriah though. The boy with eyes that reminded her of the forest.

They were two people whose paths were never meant to cross. They were broken beyond what either of them thought repairable and no, they won't ever be able to fix each other.

But if they allow themselves to be loved, they could help each other fix themselves.

Will they have enough trust in one another to get through all the lies, secrets, and betrayal ahead of them though?
