Cory Williams is a seventeen year old adolescent that has spent his life shielding his little sister from the chaos their parents left behind. An old soul wise beyond his years stitched together with lullabies and promises; he's learned not to lean on anyone and built a fortress on foundations from the art of survival.

Holly Mansen's days are measured in quiet rituals and the slow erosion of hope but found herself stepping into the shadows of Cory's world full of scraped knees and broken dreams.

But for a dream to come true, someone must always lose.

A story woven with quiet resilience, tender promises and the ache of growing up too soon, they discover that family isn't always born - it's chosen. Peppered with romance and humour, this slice of life novel shows that sometimes, the people we save, end up saving us right back.
