He feels he's got everything under control...until Tomas comes along. Tomas is a mysterious boy with a troubled past who's been taken in by Jackson's aunt.Jackson's aunt and cousins come to visit, Tomas and Jackson are suddenly sharing a room-and a whole lot of tension. At first, that tension seems to come from the intrusion on Jackson's life...but then it becomes about something much deeper, and much more personal.

It's not anything he's ready for-but it will take him where he needs to be...if he lets it."--
