There are lofty visions of “travel” and “a kid,” but no specifics. They’re as imaginative as a cardboard box. Jordan thought she could fix this alone, but her mom wiped out her debt the first time around (it takes her a while to drop that bombshell), and she’s still learning how to talk about finances openly after growing up with a money code of shame and secrets. They run away from their problems and shove important issues under the rug. Most people don’t truly appreciate the consequences of their actions.
Before talking this out with me, neither realized they were on the verge of a relationship breakdown. He needs the problem not to happen again. This is not the kind of thing you do when you’re saving for a down payment on a house and building a family. Jordan has hidden her debt from her husband, Dan, twice. She constantly saw her mom withhold money matters from her dad, and now, history is repeating itself. And if they can't learn to trust one another now, the families who let them down will take everything they've struggled to keep.Jordan wasn’t raised to talk about money. But when grim developments threaten them both, going it alone just won't work anymore. The only bright spot in his week is the few stolen hours he spends with Scarlet.The two form a tentative relationship based on the understanding that some things must always be held back. Protecting his sister means a precarious living arrangement and constant deception. But a sobering family crisis takes that all away. Even if it means lying to the boy she's falling for.Bridger McCaulley is a varsity hockey star known for being a player both on and off the ice. Clutching a shiny new student ID - with a newly minted name on it - she leaves it all behind.
But college will be Scarlet's fresh start. Now the shock has worn off, but not the horror.It's a safe bet that Scarlet is the only first year at Harkness College who had to sneak past TV news trucks parked on her front lawn just to leave town. He's hiding someone small.Scarlet Crowley's life was torn apart the day father was arrested for unspeakable crimes.
