Rory has a secret: she's the vandal who paints graffiti lions all over her town. When Hayes, a former screw-up on the path to recovery, catches her in the act, Rory is sure she's busted. Instead he makes her a deal: if she tells him about her graffiti, he won't turn her in.
As the two grow closer, the police efforts to find the vandal ramp up, and Rory is forced to confront a secret she still can't bring herself to face.

Laurie graduated first in her class from St. John’s University with a BA in English and minor in Journalism. Since then, she’s written for national magazines like ALLURE, survived a teaching stint at an all-boys high school, and appeared on Good Day New York several times as a Toy Expert. And yes, a ‘toy expert’ is an actual thing that people sometimes get to be.

"Rory is a strong character with fierce convictions... The nuanced character development stands out in this sensitive exploration of the healing power of art. This book will resonate with artists and art lovers alike.

"Gritty and edgy, this novel smartly tackles suicide, teen alcoholism, and creative expression....By combining a narrator who embraces pain and resentment with story twists and misunderstandings, Crompton creates a fascinating novel that will fully absorb readers.
