Liam's Town Marissa Dike

Liam, a seventeen-year-old boy, lives in a small town where nothing ever changes. Every day he wakes up, goes to work in his grandfather's shop, and spends time with his friends: fiery Trinity, loudmouthed Fender, and lovable Jenny. Then one day, a terrible storm hits his town, bringing a stranger along with it who threatens everything-and everyone-that Liam has grown to love. Slowly, and much to his horror, Liam begins to realize that the home where he once felt safe is hiding a terrible secret, and he is eventually faced with a choice: does he want to remain in blissful ignorance, or does he want to learn the truth lurking beneath the surface of his town? But Liam's Town isn't merely a mystery; it is a mosaic that weaves together love and heartbreak, friendship and betrayal, trust and fear, and at its heart is a boy who slowly learns to face the demons of his past instead of running from them.
