Book two in the Hope for the Best series.

The brand burned into Charlie’s arm is a constant reminder that family doesn’t exist, people only care about their own selfish interests, and a handful of pendants, if united, could lead to negative consequences for the entire world. All he wants is to escape his perilous past and the people who want him dead. By accident, he arrives in the small town of Maibe, Nebraska where he has the chance to change his life and start over.

Rochelle is trying to pick up the pieces and move forward after a year filled with loss and illness. She just wants to take care of her family, prevent her home from becoming a ghost town, and save the world if she has time. When an old friend shares secret information about pendants that could save millions of lives, she finds herself and everyone she loves plunged into a world more dangerous than she could ever imagine.

As it becomes clear that nothing happens by change, Charlie and Rochelle must face the trauma of their pasts and work together to ensure tomorrow will be better for everyone.
