mad season: Book 1 - "Elles Garity's Story"

Eleven-year-old Elles Garity had everything she ever wanted, born and raised in the small island town she called home-until the day that her entire world came crashing down. Traumatized by the accidental death of her parents she reacted the only way she knew how, she ran, from her grief and everything and everyone else she knew. Now, fifteen years later, settled into a relocated, reinvented life, that same impetuous decision has come back to haunt her. After suffering another loss and burdened by an underlying pattern of impulsive behavior, an unexpected find is the final straw that she cannot ignore. At odds with her inner child and unresolved emotions, going home is bound to get even harder when she comes face to face with all that she left behind. One person's dark connection to her tragic past, and unthinkable family secrets will finally expose the truth about herself, and the family she lost.
