Description
Cash’s life in rural Tennessee has been shaped by poverty, addiction, and devastating grief, but poetry and an unbreakable friendship with Delaney offer him a way forward. When the two leave home for an elite boarding school, they must navigate unfamiliar privilege, new relationships, and the lingering pain of everything they have lost. As Cash searches for his voice, the novel explores friendship, young love, found family, resilience, and the difficult process of growing beyond the place—and the wounds—that shaped him. With emotionally rich, poetic prose and deeply authentic characters, this is a moving coming-of-age story about the people and art that can help us survive.
