    Summary

    Before he ran. Before the loading dock. Before the blood on his hands -Dennis Whitaker was just a boy learning what it means to be loved by monsters.

    Milk teeth are temporary. They fall out, replaced by something permanent. By the time Dennis runs at eighteen, he's learned the most important lesson of all: the people who love you can also fail you. And the people who fail you can still love you, in ways that leave scars you'll carry forever.

    A collection of moments from his childhood on the farm.
    A prequel to Dressing on the Side.
