For most of her life, Taylor OShea preferred being a loner. After her mother was incarcerated when Taylor was seven, she grew up hardthanks in part to her construction-worker grandfather who made her tough as nails. Finally, in Chammont Point, Taylor, for the first time, finds friends who love her for her rough edges, not in spite of them. With her best friends in tow, she heads to Arizona to face the woman whose bad choices shaped the very woman Taylor has become. But the family reunion brings disappointment and even more surprises, leaving Taylor with more questions than answers. Now that Taylors discovered she has a half-brother, Lonnie, she sets out to find him. Helping him rebuild a life worth living becomes a mission that may save not just Lonnie but Taylor herself. Sometimes, however, helping family can push you to the breaking point.
