Redeeming Lainey
Release

Summary
from Goodreads:
When
Lainey left the little farming town in Iowa on her eighteenth birthday, she
thought she was finally free. She didn’t have to live in fear anymore wondering
which day was going to be her last. For those two years, she was able to live
in peace. She’d made a new friend, was going to a school she loved, and was
setting the path for her future career.
That all changed with one phone call from her mother.
With the push of her best friend, Randi, Lainey goes back into the town she once promised was forever in her rear-view mirror. The dark memories of her past loom around every corner, and Lainey can’t seem to conquer the demons inside of her in order to fully move on.
Bryce, on the other hand, had moved on. During middle school and high school, Lainey was his best friend, and it tore him apart when she left with only a note. A simple note saying good-bye and have a great life.
Without his best friend around, Bryce’s life quickly spiraled out of control. He got into drugs, had some trouble with the law, and found himself partying a little too hard. Sweet Annabeth brought him out of that stage in his life, and ultimately saved his life.
With Lainey back in town, Bryce is at a loss at what do. She wants nothing to do with him or the town, but he is the only person who knows her full history and may be able to help her. Knowing that Lainey’s a flight risk, and with one wrong move, she’d pack everything up and leave again, Bryce steps out to help her find the one thing she doesn’t know she needs.

Excerpt
Bryce Aarons
“Why
are you doing this to yourself, Lainey?” I ask. “Why?”
“Why
not?” she crosses her arms over her chest and walks past me, pausing at the
mirror. She glances at her reflection for a few seconds and then looks over at
me. “Do you ever not recognize your reflection? Do you ever see yourself and
wonder who you are? What happened to the real you?”
Moving
back to the mirror, she whispers, “I don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t know
how to find Lainey again. I don’t even know if she still exists.”
