Description
Alma Underwood is NOT a kleptomaniac.
But she does take things that don’t belong to her.
The best part about working as a maid in her parent’s motel is pocketing all the random objects people leave behind. From old ticket stubs to the glue that comes with a toupee, Alma has discovered it all and stored it in a tub beneath her bed.
Her greatest treasure isn’t what she found in room six at Great Lakes Motel, but it’s who she discovered in an old, abandoned train car behind her house.
His name is Rumor, and he certainly won’t fit under her bed.
After a quick scan of Rumor’s surroundings, it becomes crystal clear that he’s not just hanging out in the train car for a place to escape. He’s living in it.
With determination heavy inside her, she does the only thing that makes sense to her...
She brings him home.
Turns out, he’s looking for a treasure of his own, and who better to help him find it than her?
Advance Praise
★★★★★
This is gorgeous YA, coming-of-age romance with a physically disabled hero and a do-good heroine that was completely hard to resist. It had a whole host of quirky, lovable secondary characters that made you smile and laugh all at the same time."
-LJ Evans, award-winning author
★★★★★
"This story took me on a journey of love, friendship, grief and acceptance. There is humour and heart. The perfect mixture of emotion to have you on balance of craving more and wanting to put it away so the characters you grow to love don't hurt."
