A young mother must grow up fast to protect her savant son in this short story by the New York Times–bestselling author of Someone Else’s Love Story. Shandi Pierce got pregnant when she was only seventeen years old. She instantly fell in love with her son Natty, but four years later she’s still more parented than parent. She lives with her mom, her dad pays her bills, and her best friend, Walcott, acts as her white knight. But Natty is no ordinary kid, and when his savant behavior catches the attention of an obsessive stranger, only Shandi sees the true menace. To protect her boy, Shandi must figure out how a daughter with a son can remake herself into a true mother. In this e-original short story, Joshilyn Jackson returns to the world of Someone Else’s Love Story to give a fierce and funny character a standalone adventure of her own.
