Seventeen-year-old Maeve survives a car crash that kills her mother, but the truth about that night haunts her. Sent to live with a distant father, a well-meaning stepmother, and a baby brother she refuses to bond with, Maeve must confront her past and decide if she will finally find where she belongs.

Maeve doesn’t remember the crash itself, only bits and pieces of the moments leading up to it: rain, a conversation with her mother, and then headlights too close, too fast. When she wakes up in a hospital, her father is there, a stranger to her after years of separation.Two weeks later, Maeve moves into her father’s home, where her stepmother, Julia, tries to make her feel at home with things like oatmeal and protein balls—food Maeve has no interest in. The house feels foreign, and Maeve longs for the comfort of her mother.
