Description
Beck's life feels like a never-ending cycle of hate and resentment. His mother's violent outbursts have become all too familiar, and the piano she forces him to play is a constant reminder of his own feelings of suffocation. But Beck has a secret passion - composing his own music - one that he dare not share with anyone, lest it spark another explosion of anger. When August enters his life, everything changes. Her infectious laughter and boundless energy bring out a side of Beck he never knew existed. As they spend more time together, Beck begins to see a way out of the darkness that has consumed him. But can he find the courage to follow his heart, or will the past continue to haunt him? This powerful debut novel tackles the difficult topic of domestic abuse with unflinching honesty and ultimately hopeful resolve.
