And Eliza, meanwhile, is doing her best to keep her head above water—even as the anxieties she thought she left behind threaten to drag her beneath the stormy waves.

Dear Mom: His name is Tyler.
I can’t keep him.
Look after him for me.
And suddenly, all of Charlene’s other problems don’t seem so important after all.

Besides—after three years of too much quiet in her empty home, maybe a fresh face will help cure her loneliness.

Starting a new chapter means turning your back on the old one, after all.
