FOREWARD
I’ll keep this brief (which is a rather difficult task for me as my books tend to be in the hundreds of thousands of words).
Two characters in this book are diagnosed with a pediatric rare disease. For the last eight years my (day) job has been focused on biomedical research; specifically, research into the (accurate) diagnosis and treatment of pediatric rare diseases. I felt it appropriate that a percentage of the profits of this book go to pediatric rare diseases foundations which are dedicated to helping the children (and their families) of this underserved and underfunded population. Therefore, at least 10% of the profits from every ebook sold will go to one of these foundations.
If you’re interested in learning more about rare diseases research and the collaborative efforts currently afoot, here are some great resources:
If you downloaded this book for free, but really liked it, please consider purchasing a copy for a friend!
See, that wasn’t so long/bad. Sincerely, Penny

Chapter 1
I recognized him instantly even though the last time I had seen him in person he was seventeen, naked, and asleep. I was sixteen, haphazardly dressed, and sneaking out his window.
