Advance Praise

“This is a beautifully written story. There are so many lovely, poetic descriptions woven effortlessly into a story that is not always pretty. They stand out without jarring from the narrative or seeming forced, the reader is left with raw yet beautiful language.”

—Emma Scott, author of Unbreakable: City Lights Book II
