Publisher's Synopsis
17-year-old Harper Cassidy has a home. Really, she does! And so does her sister, Lil. But since all they've ever done is skip across the Pacific Northwest from town to town, following her mom's every desire from Montana to California, it's been getting harder and harder to feel rooted anywhere.
Until tragedy strikes. And, before she knows it, Harper is... free. Free to go home to Montana and return to a stability she never had. Only, there are several problems standing in her way.
First, she has to create a stable life for her and her seven-year-old sister. Second, she has to do it alone. And third, worst of all, she has to keep her mother's absence a secret from the people she grew up with: her grandfather, her aunt, and him, the boy.
Andy Madden is Harper's best friend, and the answer to her aching loneliness, but he is also the threat to containing the secret that her life depends on. A secret that seems just a little too heavy for any one person to keep.
