«So I was confused and I was ugly and I was hurting with one hundred different shades of pain, some inexplicable, some obvious, all unnecessary; and late one night, at three in the morning on a Wednesday when I couldn’t sleep and wasn’t really trying to, I thought about him.»
Emily Manson is a young girl who believes in love… and after meeting Ethan, a charismatic young man with a propensity for violence, she thinks that she has found it. Scarred by the memory of her father's suicide and confronted with her mother's failings, Emily fights her way through a darker side of love. What she unearths in her struggles takes her through the trials of family, forgiveness, and figuring out who one is supposed to be.
