In the Heart of Yesterday — J.M. Walker

Jesse Dawson is a typical seventeen year old girl. She goes to school, gets good grades, and like any other kid, just wants to fit in, blend in and survive high school. She doesn't talk about all the crap she has to deal with. Her mom in the hospital and a step-dad from hell. Rave Black sweeps into her life in the middle of the school year. He's a dark loner. The quiet kid, and fascinates Jesse. She should stay away from him, but a budding friendship slips into a bond neither of them can deny. Rumors spread even as they share their secrets with each other. Can Rave help Jesse learn to open up and trust, or will his personal demons consume them both?
