Jordan Baxter, a talented songwriter and musician is determined to keep his home life
a secret. He lives with his mother who has a hoarding disorder and his little
sister, Tabitha, who is not thriving in the filthy, cluttered environment their
mother calls home.

When Tabitha is injured, the family is thrown into the spotlight, forcing Jordan to
choose to be free of the mess, and the fear of pity he believes surrounds him.

At the heart of this new-adult novel are questions of love and honesty, and the lesson
that acceptance is freedom.
