In the Wild Light

Winner of the ALAN Amelia Elizabeth Walden Award Longlisted for the Carnegie Medal I've always loved when the light finds the broken spots in the world and makes them beautiful . . . Cash’s life in his small Tennessee town is hard. He lost his mom to an opioid addiction and his grandfather’s illness is getting worse. His smart but troubled best friend, Delaney, is his only salvation. But Delaney is meant for greater things, and she finds a way for Cash to leave with her. Will abandoning his old life be the thing that finally breaks Cash, or will it be the making of him? From the award-winning author of The Serpent King comes a beautiful story of grief, found family, and young love.
