To understand the truth, you have to start at the beginning.
Ava Bardem lives in isolation, a life of silence. For seventeen years, Ava's father, a merciless man, has controlled her fate. He's taught her to love no one. But then she meets Jack.
Living in poverty, Jack Dahl is holding his breath. He and his younger brother have nothing-except each other. With their parents gone, Jack faces a stark choice: lose his brother to foster care or find the drug money that sent his father to prison. He chooses the money.
Suddenly, Jack's and Ava's fates become intimately-and dangerously-linked as Ava's father hunts for the same money as Jack. When he picks up on Jack's trail, Ava must make her own wrenching choice: remain silent or speak and fight for Jack's survival.
Choices. They come at a price.

Descriere
A searingly powerful and unputdownable thriller that is The Road meets Winter's Bone.
'Beautifully written . . . a chilling footpath of love and loss and keeps you there until you've read every last word' Ruta Sepetys
HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO PROTECT THOSE YOU LOVE?
Life can be brutal.
It's taken everything from Jack. Now it's coming for his little brother. Alone in the harsh Idaho Winter, their only chance of survival is finding the drug money that destroyed their family.
Jack knew it. So did I.
For seventeen years, Ava's father has controlled her life. He has silenced her voice and taught her to love no one.
When Jack and I met, did I sense the coming tornado?
As Ava realises her father is on Jack's trail, she must choose whether to remain silent or fight for the brothers' survival - and her own chance at freedom.
A gripping story of love and redemption, asking how we decide what's right and wrong in a world where neither is simple - and what we risk if we fail.
