...are you ready?
Joy Delamere is suffocating.
From asthma, which has nearly claimed her life. From her parents, who will do anything to keep that from happening. From delectably dangerous Asher, who is smothering her from the inside out.
Joy can take his words—tender words, cruel words—until the night they go too far.
Now, Joy will leave everything behind to find the one who has offered his help, a homeless boy called Creed. She will become someone else. She will learn to survive. She will breathe…if only she can get to Creed before it’s too late.
Set against the gritty backdrop of Seattle’s streets and a cast of characters with secrets of their own, Holly Cupala’s powerful new novel explores the subtleties of abuse, the meaning of love, and how far a girl will go to discover her own strength.

ReplyDeleteYou all would not believe how many title ideas we went through before hitting that one! Seems like it would be a no-brainer, ha! My brain is slow. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGreat title. I love a title that has layers of meanings but sounds good even if you don't know them yet. Well done. Also, as SWK said, it goes along very well with Tell Me a Secret.

ReplyDeleteOH My GOSH!!!! Great Title. I cannot wait for this book.
ReplyDeleteHope I can get involved in promoting it somehow. Domestic abuse is a serious issue, and it's rarely talked about in teens.
You Go Holly Cupala!!!
