Months ago, an awful accident forced thirteen-year-old Sage to leave her home and track team in Philadelphia in order to move to a trailer park in Virginia with her dad--and Sage blames herself for the accident. She's determined not to let anyone find out why they had to move, and she tries hard not to even think about it. Then she hears from her mom's estranged parents for the first time in her life. Visiting them could be her one chance to mend the rift that's kept everyone apart, and maybe, it can even help to fix what she's broken. So, against her dad's wishes, Sage goes to visit them in Ohio. But meeting her strict, aloof grandmother quickly dashes her hopes for a happier family. Her trip keeps going downhill until she rescues a sweet stray dog. With him by her side and support from her grandpa and her new friend Marla, can Sage find the courage to face what she's been avoiding and maybe even bring her fractured family back together? From the award-winning author of It Happened on Saturday comes a heartfelt and empowering story that explores the complexity of family relationships, the value of forgiveness, and how to find your way forward with resilience and hope.
