Then she leaves for two years that becomes four, and Leo's life goes to pieces.After Meg returns, lonely and doubting her worth, she looks for the boy who used to be her friend. She finds a young man she doesn't recognize, a mean, rough troublemaker who can't stand her. Yet she's drawn to him, and she asks God to help her reach the old Leo she used to know. She's certain he's still in there somewhere.But Leo is guarding dangerous secrets, and should Meg get too close, she'll figure them out. If he doesn't do something to get rid of her, the last strands of his existence will come apart. And yet he wants to be the boy she's looking for, not the monster he needs her to see.
