About this item

After two months of hell living with her uncle, Maria is ready to give up. She's already lost everything, and has no one to hold on to. Stuck in a small town where she knows not a single person, and physically abused by her uncle, she sees no hope. The only respite she gets from the hits on all sides is the small coffee shop down the road. After an unlikely accident resulting in meeting a backwards British kid who is too polite and awkward for his own good, Maria starts to see a light in the darkness, but she's also afraid of it. She has her heart broken before, a hundred times in a hundred ways, and she doesn't know if she's ready to love, ready to let go, or even ready to face the reality of things. She doesn't know if she's ready to open up again and be happy.
