Where The Petals Remain

Bug Pines has never had a 'normal' life. Not since their eighth birthday, when they were unceremoniously torn away from everything they knew. In adulthood, they juggle college and a straining relationship. Their partner, Noah Liang, remains fervently devoted no matter how far they push him away. Everything changes when their mother breaks out of prison, setting off a chain of unforeseen events. Bug must nurse old wounds and forge a new path alongside Noah; one where they no longer dismiss their pain. With family tensions and challenges on the rise, with an unspoken tragedy looming, will the couple rekindle the flame? Where The Petals Remain is the equal parts brutal and uplifting follow up to Where The Stars Are.
