About this ebook
Aria Abbott has never had a home. Drifting through the foster system for most of her life, she finally finds herself in a situation so unbearable that she has no choice but to run away. Sleeping on the streets pushes Aria beyond any suffering she has felt before; the only thing worse than seeing no escape is the knowledge that no one in the world cares enough to try and find her.
Enter Taylor, a homeless young man with a charismatic smile and a dream of fame, fortune, and the sunshine of LA. Swept up in his energy, Aria and Taylor board a greyhound bus and never look back.
In this bright new world, Aria will discover a whole community of people living in the shadows, in the margins of society. As Taylor follows his dreams, Aria follows her heart. But she will discover that it isn’t always clear who you can trust, that strangers can be kind, or treacherous, or sometimes as familiar as your own reflection, if you’re willing to look hard enough.

I have never seen my Daughter whom sometimes I think my whole life would be easier if only I tore my eyes out and threw them at her feet. I live in such a state that I am constantly considering if I am not already dead and living in some kind of Egyptian Pre-Heaven. However seemingly here is my answer: Mo No Dy. Hooray!i!

Being familiar with Swan’s nonfiction, I was curious to see how she would do as a novelist. I was pleasantly surprised. This book is in fact Young Adult (YA) fiction, and of the highest standard. The theme is about homelessness and the fact that anyone can find themselves in such a situation from a variety of circumstances. However, no child plans to go through the trauma of being separated from a parent and thrust into a dysfunctional foster care program. This novel takes you on a reality tour of what life is like for far too many young people in this culture.
