    • Joy Delamere is suffocating.

      From asthma, from her parents, and
      from her boyfriend, delectably dangerous Asher,
      who is smothering her from the inside out.

      Joy can take his words
      —tender words, cruel words—
      until the night they go too far.

      Now, Joy will leave everything behind
      to find the one who has offered his help,
      a homeless boy called Creed.
      She will become someone else.
      She will learn to survive.
      She will breathe...
      if only she can get to Creed
      before it’s too late.

      Set against the gritty backdrop
      of Seattle’s streets and a cast of characters
      with secrets of their own,
      Holly Cupala’s powerful new novel
      explores the subtleties of abuse,
      the meaning of love, and
      how far a girl will go
      to discover her own strength.
