The Atlas of Almost Here
When sixteen-year-old Rowan finds a postcard hidden in a dead bouquet at the flower shop where she works, it points to a ferry terminal hundreds of miles away and carries a message only her missing older sister could have meant for her.
With the family van about to be taken and a forty-eight-hour deadline closing in, Rowan heads south with Ellis, the former best friend she has spent months avoiding. Their route runs through rain-slick towns, motel rooms, flower markets, and the old addresses her family tried to forget. At every stop, Mara's trail reveals another piece of a story Rowan thought she understood: forged paperwork, borrowed names, and the cost of making fear look like responsibility.
Tender, funny, and restless, The Atlas of Almost Here is a contemporary YA road romance about sisterhood, first honesty, and choosing a future that belongs to you. The final coordinate is waiting. Rowan only has to decide what truth she is willing to carry there.

Wilted Inventory
Rowan could tell how long a rose had been dead by the sound it made when she bent the stem.
The ones from the front cooler snapped cleanly, all sugar water and false confidence. The ones in the back buckets folded without a fight. Those went into the compost before Jo could catch her saving them for a discount arrangement, which was not technically stealing but was also not a conversation Rowan wanted before school.
