His time, when not spent with his mother and grandmother, is spent lighting fires to help him deal with the feelings he has over his father's abandonment. She's from nearby Edelburg, a small, conservative town. Abandoned by her mother, Sara Jean cares for her obese grandmother and writes to escape. She has been accepted to the University of Manitoba, but her obligation to her grandmother leaves her wondering what her future will hold: a life in Edelburg with her boyfriend and grandmother, or an adventure in a big city where she can escape her past and pursue her passion for writing.When Jess is found guilty of arson after lighting an abandoned building on fire, he's ordered to complete 250 hours of community service. His first assignment? Cleaning out Sara Jean's neglected garage. Sorting through boxes left by her grandfather, they discover that the secrets keeping their communities apart are the very things that may well bring them together.
