Foster kids and best friends Shadaisy and Tristan live in New York City. The problem is, they just shot their social worker, a man who performed heinous acts every week. Now they are fleeing, with a tenuous plan in place for their future. But the clock is ticking, and they need to hide.
Josie Whitt and her dog have escaped to a run-down farmhouse in upstate New York. Josie is despondent, barely able to function. Her twin, Jaylene, is dead. It is all Josie can do to simply get through each day without disappearing into herself.
When Shadaisy and Tristan stumble into Josie Whitt's life, their journey changes from escape to understanding. The Heartbreak of Josie Whitt examines the complexities of life, family, and love in a haunting novel that will remain in the hearts of readers long after the last page is turned.
