Publisher's Synopsis
Two families. Seven generations of missed chances. Can Hazel and Seth overcome the fate that pulls them apart?
She never expected to leave her London boarding school with its high walls and privilege. He never though he'd have to leave California and give up surfing and soccer. And yet, both left, pulled away from their lives by fate.
They started their senior year at the same high school, both of them new and unknown. Hazel, wealthy, beautiful and brilliant, immediately became part of the most popular group; while Seth, struggling to care for his seven siblings, wearing only cast offs, was slow to make friends. They moved in different social circles. And yet, over and over, they found themselves beside each other, drawn together, despite the forces trying to keep them apart.
And each time they came in contact, miraculous and wondrous things begin to happen. Hazel's mother is softer and home more often. Her father begins taking time to visit with her instead of rushing off to his lectures. Seth's mother began caring for the family, the house, and about life and laughing again. His father, overseas, is able to call more, easing the minds of all his siblings.Strangest of all, when they come together, it feels like coming home.
