Ashes To Wildflowers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798282131116)

not just from the house that burned her, but from the people who swore they loved her as they broke her down.

With two younger siblings in tow and nothing but a bruised heart, Maisie finds herself in a stranger's care-Wes Adkins, a charming older man who offers shelter and warmth. But his kindness is a mask, and beneath it waits something darker.

When school reopens its doors, so does the chance for something different. A quiet boy named Rowan sees through her silence and shadows, becoming the first person who doesn't ask her to smile for him-but to fight for herself.

Torn between love and survival, Maisie must decide whether to escape again-or finally bloom in the light of something real.
