Synopsis
Seventeen-year-old Mae is convinced that
the consequences of her poor decisions have caused the untimely deaths of three
close family members within a year, no matter how ludicrous her thoughts seem
to those she loves. The solution? Run away so no one else she cares for gets
hurt.
Despite Mae’s efforts to blend in at a
new high school just long enough to graduate, she meets Ty, the “perfect guy”
with his own secrets and a relentless interest in her. She must decide if she
can stop running from the past and still protect those she loves; and if she
does return home, whether Ty is really the right person to protect her fragile
heart.

Excerpt
“Is this for me?” I ask as Ty stands in
the center of the clearing with a yellow rose in one hand.
“No. It’s for that grandma who’ll be
passing this area in about ten minutes. I’m just practicing my delivery.” He’s
so cute when he’s being sarcastic. I take the rose. In an instant I am shocked
back to the day of Laura’s funeral. Everyone in her sixth grade glass brought
roses to the cemetery to lay upon her grave, yellow ones, her favorite color.
“Why aren’t you smiling?” Ty asks. “Did I do something wrong?”
“N…no.”
“Your hand is shaking,” he says coming
over to my side. “Sit down.” He points to the picnic table. “Mae, if you don’t
tell me anything I won’t ever be able to help you. I want to help you. I know
what it’s like to need help. There’s a lot you don’t know about me, too. And
I’m willing to tell you. It’s weird because I hardly know anything about you,
but I feel like we’re a lot alike.”
“We’re nothing alike,” I say. I want to
tell him. But if I do? Then what? He won’t understand. No one does.
“Is yellow not a good color for
brunettes?” he jokes. I can’t help but smile. He takes the rose, breaks off the
stem, and tucks it behind my ear. He leans in to smell the rose and kisses my
cheek. Only the crunching of sticks from the older couple on the path stops him
from reaching my lips.
