About this book

To everyone who knows him, West Ashby has always been that guy: the cocky, popular, way-too-handsome-for-his-own-good football god who led Lawton High to the state championships. But while West may be Big Man on Campus on the outside, on the inside he s battling the grief that comes with watching his father slowly die of cancer. Two years ago, Maggie Carleton s life fell apart when her father murdered her mother. And after she told the police what happened, she stopped speaking and hasn t spoken since. Even the move to Lawton, Alabama, couldn t draw Maggie back out. So she stayed quiet, keeping her sorrow and her fractured heart hidden away. As West s pain becomes too much to handle, he knows he needs to talk to someone about his father so in the dark shadows of a post-game party, he opens up to the one girl who he knows won t tell anyone else.
