In this funny, surprising, and heartfelt novel, Mary Carter
explores the unlikely connection between a rootless young
woman and a troubled boy--and the life-changing adventure
that ensues. . .
Twenty-five-year-old Andes Lane has spent nine years moving
restlessly from place to place as she searches for somewhere
that feels right. In the little blue houseboat bobbing on a
Seattle lake, she thinks she's found it. But Andes has
barely had a chance to settle in before her new life is
upended by her landlord, Jay, and his son, Chase.
Smart, guarded, and precocious, Chase touches a chord with
Andes even as he plays on her last nerve. And though she
agrees to accompany the boy on a burning quest to Sunnyside,
Queens, Andes is sure it will prove fruitless--in fact, she
has promised Jay it will be. But in this new, strange,
unexpectedly welcoming city, both Andes and Chase will
unravel their deepest secrets and darkest fears--and in the
face of longed for truths, discover a freedom that feels
very much like home. . .
