He can’t outrun his secrets…

After his family falls apart and he finds himself in a new town with his mom and brothers, Jonas Quaker takes up running. Seems the demons from his past let go when he races through the neighborhoods, and it’s the only peace he can find.

Odette Maclaren spends the summer watching some kid run through her neighborhood, never expecting him to show up at her church in the fall. She meets him, loving the idea of digging into someone’s story, and she discovers he might be a kindred spirit, a guy with a dark past and no idea how to deal with new people.

That year their lives change. Jonas’s dad has left and now threatens to return. Odette’s dad, a widower, meets the worst kind of lady and settles her in their lives. Some days all they have is one another, and some days the adults in their lives take even that comfort from them. They’ll have to stick together, along with their siblings, to survive the troubles and danger their parents bring to their lives. Maybe they’ll even come out stronger because of it.
