Summary |
Attending an elite prep school in Connecticut on a scholarship with his best friend (and secret love) science genius Delaney Doyle, sixteen-year-old Cash Pruitt, from a small town in East Tennessee, struggles with emotional pain and loss until his English teacher suggests writing poetry. |
|
For every way the world tries to kill us, it gives us a way to survive. Life in small-town Tennessee has never been easy. Cash already lost his mother to an opioid addiction and is losing his Papaw, who raised him, one labored breath at a time. But loss has led him to Delaney Doyle, and she's been his salvation. The trouble is that canoeing on the river and hiking the mountains might be all he needs to fill his soul, but Delaney is meant for so much more. So when Delaney makes a scientific discovery that gets them both full rides at an elite boarding school in Connecticut, Cash has to make the tough decision to leave behind his place of the heart to support his person of the heart. Will the decision to go to Middleford Academy be the thing that finally breaks Cash, or will it be the making of him? -- From dust jacket. |
