    Summary

    Ellie is fifteen, living in a rundown group home where food is scarce and rules are plentiful. To eat, she drives miles every night to the only job she could find sweating at the graveyard shift at a gas station in the middle of nowhere. Truckers pass through, some nice, some hard, most not even realizing she exists.

    Joel is one of them. Gruff, weathered, and taciturn, he's the type of fellow who never lingers anywhere longer than he absolutely has to. But there's something about the girl at the counter that induces him to linger just a fraction too long.
