Izzy

Mom is barely in the grave and the prodigal child is here to pick the bones clean.

I don't want her here. My sister's defection is a wound that won't heal, and her return simply rubs at the scabs covering my heart.

I've managed just fine without her. She can go back to her fancy college and forget about us- that's what she does best anyway.

If only I didn't need her help. Or miss her so much.

Renee

The day my dad committed suicide I ran. I've been running ever since.

Going home is supposed to be the answer. Instead, it makes me question every thoughtless decision I've made.

My sister hates me. My little brother barely knows me. And Simon... is engaged.

None of it matters- or so I tell myself. I'm here to make amends and face a past haunted by regret.

As long as I can convince myself to stay.

Letting Go is a young adult romance dealing with tragedy, restitution, and love in all its aspects. The story relates to sensitive topics that may be triggering for some readers.
