With no money, shelter, or ID, theyre living on the streets. Lake thinks of Storm and his promise to take care of her, and wonders where he could be now.Told in dual perspectives through unsent letters, at turns heartbreaking and always honest, this latest novel in verse from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ellen Hopkins is a searing and unforgettable account of two teens caught in the teeth of the foster care system, fighting their way out and back to each other.
