t handle the bills (or anything, really) on his own. So while Dad'
s snagging bottles of whiskey, Matt'
s snagging fifteen bucks an hour. Not bad. But everything else? Not good. Then Matt meets Lovey. Crazy name, and she'
s been through more crazy stuff than he can imagine. Yet Lovey never cries. She'
s tough. Really tough. Tough in the way Matt wishes he could be. Which is maybe why he'
s drawn to her, and definitely why he can'
t seem to shake her. Because there'
s nothing more hopeful than finding a person who understands your loneliness - and who can maybe even help take it away.
