Ein Sommer. Ein Junge. Ein Geheimnis. Samantha Reed liebt die Garretts heiß und innig – doch nur aus der Ferne. Die 10-köpfige Nachbarsfamilie ist tabu, denn die Garretts sind alles, was Samanthas Mutter ablehnt: chaotisch, bunt und lebensfroh. Aber eines schönen Sommerabends erklimmt der 17-jährige Jase Garrett Samanthas Dachvorsprung und stellt ihr Leben auf den Kopf. Sie verliebt sich mit Haut und Haaren und wird von den Garretts mit offenen Armen aufgenommen. Eine Zeit lang gelingt es Samantha, ihr neues Leben vor der Mutter geheim zu halten. Doch als ein Autounfall die Garretts aus der Bahn wirft, muss Samantha eine schwere Entscheidung treffen … Herzerwärmend und tiefgründig – der erste Roman von Bestsellerautorin Huntley Fitzpatrick mit neuer Coveroptik
