Skylar:
I never thought I’d be a young mother at nineteen. After the sudden death of my parents, I didn’t think twice. I dropped everything to care for my obnoxious six-year-old brother. Working odd jobs, I did what I could to survive after I learned a former family friend took everything our parents left us.
We were surviving but not living until my brother found a drunk biker in the woods close to where we lived. I didn’t know how it happened or why, but my parents raised me to never look a gift horse in the mouth.
When trouble strikes, my brother calls his new friend for help and I learn that through the pain of grief comes something I never knew I needed. Family.
Pyro:
Five years ago, I lost the love of my life and never recovered. I go through my days doing what needs to be done but never really living. I live in a colorless world with no laughter, no love, nothing left for me to care about.
On the anniversary of her death, I do what I always do. I ride.
Only this time, my ride turns into a chain of events I never saw coming when a brat calls my honor into question.
When my actions cause an innocent more pain, my brothers force me to face my pain and grief before I lose the one thing, I never thought I needed.
In the depths of grief, two people learn that forgiveness, patience and compassion are what the soul needs to move on.
