I was just a kid when I was forced to flee our home in Vermont and leave behind so much. Everything, really. My focus at the time? My wild crush on a super-cute boy, not my soul-crushing grief--because grief wasn't allowed.And now? I'm not exactly living my best life in Los Angeles, so when I get the chance to handle renovations on my family's old house, I jump at the opportunity. This temporary escape could be just the thing that I need to ease the pain of a past I've never dealt with.And maybe--just maybe--it'll give me the chance to reconnect with one very special boy from my childhood.One I'm now aching to see again.
