About This Book
The sharp scent of rain mixes with the quiet hum of a busy school hallway as Adam Blake steps into his new role as the psychologist’s aide. He’s about to uncover secrets hidden deep in the shadows—secrets that connect him to a boy he thought he’d lost forever. But some truths come with a heavy price, and friendship alone might not be enough to save them.
