On Celina’s first try with Constantine, he scratches her up and the sight of the blood reminds her of her mother’s murder she witnessed a year before and has all but blocked out. As the summer unravels and Celina’s lies to people pile up in effort to hide from her father her terrible act, she must decide how to make emotional decisions and bold confrontations, all to other people, a peculiar cat, and herself, to make everything okay again. A novella.
