Roadkill
Steven has one year left of college when he returns to his small New Hampshire hometown for the summer. He says he is home to help his friend John, whose mother is dying, but he just might be escaping the uncertainty of his future. While he’s home, Steven finds himself drawn to the mysterious Catherine, an out-of-towner who drives around with a shovel in the back of her truck. Through alternating first-person POV and flashbacks, Steven’s present insecurities and Catherine’s heart-breaking past are revealed. The two must decide if they can trust each other—and themselves when a natural disaster is sparked nearby.
