IT'S HERE! The riveting debut from West Chester author K.M. Walton!

Victor hates his life. He’s relentlessly bullied at school and his parents constantly ridicule him at home.

Bull is angry. He’s sick of his grandfather’s drunken beatings. And he likes to take out his rage on Victor.

Determined to end it all, Victor takes a bottle of his mother’s sleeping pills—only to be disappointed when he wakes up in the psych ward. And his roommate? None other than Bull, whose loaded-gun effort at self-defense has been labeled as a suicide attempt.

Things go from bad to worse—until the boys discover they might just have something in common: a reason to live.

This book blew me away.

Bullied by a classmate, Lucky Linderman tries to get through each day, escaping at night into dreams of his long-lost POW grandfather. A powerful novel about bullying that also brings to light the suffering of families who never had closure from the Vietnam War.  

And what do the ants have to do with it?  Plenty.  The ants are Lucky's personal cheering squad.  Is he insane?  Or does everybody see the ants?

This stunning novel will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
