Summary
In the sunbaked wilds of Jackson, Wyoming, two girls are rewriting the rules of the rodeo. Ellie Williams is the town's only rodeo clown-a daredevil with a bruised body, a crooked grin, and a secret longing that follows her like a shadow. Abby Anderson, Jackson's lone female bull rider, has a room full of blue ribbons and the weight of her father's legacy pressing down on her shoulders.
As summer deepens, the rodeo grounds buzz with heat, grit, and the constant hum of small-town gossip. While Joel and the rest of the found family scrape by, Ellie finds herself drawn toward Dina, the preacher's daughter, while wrestling with her own place in a world that doesn't always want to make room for her kind of wild. Abby, caught between her dad's dreams and her own, is determined to prove she's just as tough-and just as deserving-as any man in the ring.

Summary
“How do you feel?”
Ellie thinks, sucks on her lower lip. “I guess- mostly just really sad.”
It’s an understatement if there ever was one. Sometimes the sadness feels so big that she’s not sure how she’d ever manage to escape it, to exist outside of it. It feels like a balloon, constantly growing bigger and bigger and never once popping. Ellie’s terrified of what it’s going to feel like when it finally breaks.
“Sometimes,” Maria says, “Sometimes, sad and stuck are the same thing. And that’s okay. You can be sad every day for the rest of your life, Ellie, and you can still live a rich, full, exciting life. Okay?”

After a mysterious geomagnetic storm tore his plane from the sky, Nikolai Gogol finds himself stranded and alone in the vastly forgotten island of Great Bear. Left with no way of contacting the outside world, Nikolai pushes on to survive until he can find a way home.
Tucked away in a hidden corner of their home, Yumeno Kyuusaku listens to muffled blizzard winds and the absence of their family's bustle. Old enough to understand their silence, but too young to admit it, they still await being dragged right back in to their life again.Bookmarked by Casteael
