Vera Hale was only a girl when she lost her father, the one person who ever called her Veebee.
Her mother survived the tragedy, but never really came back from it. She slept through the days, stopped eating, and slowly disappeared. Vera cared for her until the very end. Twice abandoned, Vera learned that people leave. Now she wants one thing more than someone who stays. And she will do almost anything to make sure they do. Because no one walks out on Vera Hale. Not unless she lets them.
How far will she go to keep the people she loves? And what will it cost them to stay?
