A full-length, standalone romance from the New York Times bestselling
author of Archer's Voice.
Dirt poor. Hillbilly. Backwoods hick. Mountain folk.
Tenleigh Falyn struggles each day to survive in a small,
poverty-stricken coal-mining town where she lives with her sister and
mentally ill mother. Her dream of winning the college scholarship given
to one student by the local coal company and escaping the harshness of
her life keeps her going.
Kyland Barrett lives in the hills, too, and has worked
tirelessly--through near starvation, through deep loneliness, against
all odds--to win the Tyton Coal Scholarship and leave the town that is
full of so much pain.
They're both determined not to form any attachments, but one moment
changes everything. What happens when only one person gets to win? When
only one person gets to leave? And what happens to the one left behind?
Kyland is a story of desperation and hope, loss and sacrifice, pain
and forgiveness, but ultimately a story of deep and unending love.
