He is confused one morning when she wakes him with the words, "We're leaving." Jacob finds himself on a journey to a small town from his mother's childhood where she hopes he will find safety before she dies. In a new town, a new school, and with a mother losing her battle with depression, Jacob's life is turned upside-down. Lace Pearlshom, the social outcast from Jacob's homeroom, adds to the confusion with her uncanny way of appearing out of shadows and disappearing up blind alleys. She pushes her way, unwelcome, into Jacob's life. Lace may hold the key to saving Jacob's mother, but can he accept the cost? In the unlikely friendship that develops Jacob learns the secrets behind Lace's mysteries and comes to understand the tragic circumstances of her life. His efforts to help her unexpectedly brings in the Child Protective Services which is determined to take Lace away. Can a friendship this deep ever be broken? Can two broken lives make the world whole? |
