No one knew just how bad Joey Ward's addiction was until the night Candy MontClaire died. Four months later, he's back from rehab, hoping for a fresh start in a town that doesn't know how to forgive. His sister, Emory, is tasked as his keeper. Because in a family with a "beautiful one" (her glamorous and outgoing older sister Maddie) and a "bad one" (Joey), Emmy has always been "the good one." Of course she'll keep her brother safe. She loves Joey more than anything. She'll do anything to keep him alive.
But what if love isn't enough to save someone?
A deeply moving portrait of a girl in a world that owes her nothing, and has taken so much, and the journey she undergoes to put herself back together. Kathleen Glasgow’s debut is heartbreakingly real and unflinchingly honest. It’s a story you won’t be able to look away from.
Tiger’s life changed with a simple phone call. Her mother has died. That’s when darkness descended on her otherwise average life. Tiger’s mother never talked about her father, and with no grandparents or aunts or uncles, her world is packed into a suitcase and moved to a foster home. And another. And another. Until hope surfaces in the shape of… a sister?
Sometimes family comes in forms you don’t recognize. But can Tiger learn to make friends with the darkness before it swallows her whole?
