At seventeen, among the shift and collapse of family and friends, Emma fell in love. Jake came into her life and saw her in a way no one else did. But Jake was battling his own demons and with each step forward came several steps back. Four years later, Emma has changed. When she left High Gate so her mother could pursue a new career in Colorado, things were left open-ended with Jake. Emma hoped their fragile bond would grow stronger despite their distance, but life doesn't always work out that way. Hardened by a broken heart, Emma ditches hopes and dreams in favor of safer choices. But when Jake appears back in her life, she must decide what she wants, what she needs, and what she can't live without.
