    Summary

    This was it: the moment Darry became a parent. Not while joyously clutching his future wife’s hand in a hospital room, but sitting at the kitchen table of his childhood home at only 20 years old, the ink still drying on the guardianship papers and fresh dirt covering his parents’ graves.

    Darry learns what it means to be a parent.

    Summary

    Darry thinks his effort goes unnoticed.

    And sometimes, it does.

    But he doesn't mind. All that matters is holding what's left of his family together.

    Even if it kills him inside.

    This had to be the loudest silence Sodapop had ever heard. Sodapop couldn’t move. It was just pure shock. Did Darry just say that? Did he actually just say that?

    Summary

    Love gets them into all kinds of things, doesn’t it?

    It’s what got them into this one after all. Darry loved his brothers enough to throw all his dreams away, loved them enough to spend his twenties breaking his back, loved them enough to become a completely different man. The Darry from last year was gone and they weren’t ever going to see it again.


    When Darry's hurt turns into something a whole lot worse, everyone realizes that he's the only thing holding everything together. What do you do when the glue's gone and you're left with only the shards?
