Seventeen-year-old Mae is convinced that the consequences of her poor decisions have caused the untimely deaths of three close family members within a year, no matter how ludicrous her thoughts seem to those she loves. The solution? Run away so no one else she cares for gets hurt.
Despite Mae’s efforts to blend in at a new high school just long enough to graduate, she meets Ty, the "perfect guy" with his own secrets and a relentless interest in her. She must decide if she can stop running from the past and still protect those she loves; and if she does return home, whether Ty is really the right person to protect her fragile heart.

Excerpt
To know me is to die. I mean, to really know
me, like when you know I can run for hours without so much as a water break, or
that cinnamon sugar doughnuts are my weakness, or that my dad gave me a whole
different name. But I don’t let people get that close. I’ve learned the hard
way. Too many people die in my life. Grandma said I was only unlucky.
“It’s not your fault all those
people you love die. It’s just bad luck that you’ve had to deal with grief so
young. Not fair at all,” she’d said. That was right before she died on my
seventeenth birthday and right after my sister Laura, my dad, and my dog Petie.
I direct Mom Number 4 toward the front door of the
high school. I always get a new mom when I transfer schools. I have yet to find
a school that allows a seventeen-year-old to register herself. I wanted to
graduate in Ohio, but too many people started asking questions. They weren’t
important questions. Just stuff like, “How come I can’t ever come over to your
house?” or “Why won’t you ever talk about yourself?” or when I do, “That’s not
what you told so-and-so.” I had to leave. To let people into my life isn’t an
option anymore. But, there’re no worries anyone will start to ask questions
here. It’s already March. That diploma is as good as mine. Then I can enroll in
online college and try to salvage something of my pathetic life.
