The Replacement Sister

A tragedy ripped Avery's life apart one year ago, and he just wants to leave the past behind him. Some holes can never be filled, and some broken families can never be mended. But when his parents adopt baby Lucy into the household, she is a constant reminder of Before, and Avery isn't sure how much more he can take.

Then Nico comes along.
