The Road to Insanity

Nova Rogers had the perfect life before her father randomly decided to walk out on her and her family. Her mother, in an attempt to gain some sort of closure, decides to move them from Detroit all the way to Independence, Kansas, where Nova meets Pete Ramsey, a quiet, expressionless, Scottish boy that loves to insult people using slang that no one understands. They become fast friends and try to cope with their difficult lives together. Along with the big change in scenery, Nova's younger brother, Robby, can't cope. His multiple personality disorder could cause him to do something absolutely crazy, so he is a constant endangerment to anyone around him. Pete is a welcome distraction to remove Nova from all this chaos, but the closer she gets to him, the more pain she'll feel if it all ends badly. With no happy ending in sight, will Nova's end come at the hands of her brother, or will she be too damaged to even care?
