Hickville Confessions: A Hickville High Novel - Plot & Excerpts
The silver lining to living in the old house her dad had bought from her uncle was the pool. It was their refuge on hot summer days—or in this case, hot fall days. She stared at the gray wood peeking from beneath the white flecks of peeling paint. A fresh coat might revitalize the place, but Ryan liked seeing the strength in the weathered wood. Oddly, it made her think of her mom. From the time Ryan had been caught in bed with Will Blankenship, her mom had supported her. She was angry, no doubt. But she never made Ryan feel unloved. It would have been easier if she had. It was the sheer disappointment that she’d seen in her parents’ faces that dug at her. Then her dad had lost his job and it all turned into a hot mess. When weeks of no work turned into months, it became a supernova-hot mess. Her mom, her hero, never blamed, never withdrew her love. Her mom was like the wood beneath the peeling paint. Her life was crumbling around her and yet she stayed strong and held the family together.
