Hunger of the Pine
Teal Swan

Aria Abbott has never had a home. Drifting through the foster system for most of her life, she finally finds herself in a situation so unbearable that she has no choice but to run away. Sleeping on the streets pushes Aria beyond any suffering she has felt before; the only thing worse than seeing no escape is the knowledge that no one in the world cares enough to try and find her. Enter Taylor, a homeless young man with a charismatic smile and a dream of fame, fortune, and the sunshine of LA. Swept up in his energy, Aria and Taylor board a greyhound bus and never look back. In this bright new world, Aria will discover a whole community of people living in the shadows, in the margins of society. As Taylor follows his dreams, Aria follows her heart. But she will discover that it is not always clear who you can trust, that strangers can be kind, or treacherous, or sometimes as familiar as your own reflection, if you are willing to look hard enough.

Ale wants nothing more than to escape the city for the wide-open spaces of the prestigious Wyder University.
