Gale Murray is a sixteen-year-old boy—smart, funny, strong-willed—who refuses to bend under the harsh treatment he receives from his father. But how can he know when it’s safe to trust another adult? And what if he’s unable to learn this?
This novel is also the story of Catherine Holzman, newly divorced and on her own after having spent twenty years married to a man who knew what was best for her at all times. And her divorce lawyer, Michael Atwood, who is drawn to her and yet wary of her involvement with this complicated, troubled teenager.
