Shortly after taking refuge with a friend, Rowan meets Gabriel, an intelligent but reclusive child, who will only speak to her through his basement window. Rowan discovers that Gabriel has been imprisoned and abused by his father for years. Rowan abducts Gabriel and moves him 1,500 miles away to rural Oklahoma to raise him herself, taking great pains to conceal her troubled past from Gabriel as she guides him toward recovery while she continues to heal from her own wounds. But with the looming threat of Gabriel’s father and Rowan’s own emotional scars, the road to healing isn’t easy, and Rowan and Gabriel will discover just how much they’ve come to mean to each other and the power of found family.
