   Summary

   After the loss of their parents, the Curtis siblings struggle to hold their family together as grief, anger, and tension push them further apart.

   Meadow Curtis tries to stay strong in her own reckless way. But beneath her bold mouth and fearless attitude is a girl drowning in loss, anger, and memories she can’t outrun. Ponyboy struggles in his own way by bottling everything up until it starts to spill over, while Sodapop desperately tries to keep the peace between them and Darry...the brother forced to become a parent before he was ready.

   Summary

   Darry Curtis and Sodapop Curtis grew up with an absent mother, and Ponyboy Curtis grew up with no one at all.

   They lived hundreds of miles apart, but two unfortunately timed deaths later had their lives turned upside down; and now, they're all suddenly under the same roof again.

   Follow the brothers across the land of loss, love and adjustment, as they all struggle without their parents, and Ponyboy’s new presence in their lives.
