The End of the World - Paperback

by Amy M. Matayo (Author)

A desperate boy. A damaged girl. And a dark house filled with secrets. For Cameron Tate, being shuffled from foster home to foster home is just a normal way of life. Until the year he turns fourteen. That's when he's sent to the home of seventeen-year-old Shaye McCormick-a fellow foster kid counting the days until she's released from the system. For good reason. It doesn't take long for Cameron to learn that Shaye is shackled to the worst kind of pain...living in a home where nothing seems right. And now he's joined her with no way out. Their only refuge is a lake, a quiet spot at the edge of the property where they can sit together for a few moments at the end of each day. Alone with their thoughts. Away from prying eyes. At the lake they become friends. At the lake they begin to talk. At the lake Cameron vows that no matter how deep their secrets are buried, he'll make it his mission to heal Shaye from a past that makes living in the present nearly impossible. Even if it takes until the end of time to do it.
