When Broken Hearts Find Each Other
Summer in Texas wasn't supposed to change Beyah Grim's life. After finding her drug-addicted mother dead in their Kentucky trailer, she reluctantly calls her estranged father-a man who's been little more than a "two weeks out of the year Dad." With nowhere else to go before starting college on a volleyball scholarship, Beyah boards a plane to Texas, carrying nothing but a backpack of worn possessions and years of emotional armor. The contrast between her impoverished upbringing and her father's comfortable coastal life is jarring-he drives a Jaguar while she arrives with almost nothing. What begins as a temporary arrangement becomes a journey of unexpected connection when she meets Samson, the mysterious neighbor who challenges her carefully constructed walls. Their summer romance, built with a clear August expiration date, forces both to confront whether love can heal what's broken inside them.
