Framed: A short story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798387144141)

Chicago, 1965.
After her parents vanish without a word, Cheyenne is left to navigate a world that suddenly feels colder and unforgiving.

She finds refuge with Judd, Oliver, and Van-three boys who become her chosen family in a city that doesn't care who you lose along the way. But when a local murder ties her to Jack Wilson, a privileged rich kid she can't stand, Cheyenne is forced into a dangerous fight to uncover the truth behind a crime that isn't what it seems.

As threats close in and violence shatters what little stability she's built, Cheyenne must confront grief, loyalty, and the kind of courage that only appears when there's no other choice.

Book One of a gritty, emotional series about found family, fractured innocence, and surviving what was never meant to be survived.
