description: Gem has never known what it is to have security. Shes never known an adult she can truly rely on. But the one constant in her life has been Dixie. Gem grew up taking care of her sister when no one else could: not their mother whose issues make it hard for her to keep food on the table and definitely not their father whose intermittent presence is the only thing worse than his frequent absence. Even as Gem and Dixie have grown apart theyve always had each other.When their dad returns home for the first time in years and tries to insert himself back into their lives Gem finds herself with an unexpected opportunity: three days with Dixieon their own in Seattle and beyond. But this short trip soon becomes something more as Gem discovers that that to save herself she may have to sever the one bond shes tried so hard to keep.
