    From USA Today Bestselling Author, P.D. Workman!

    It's better when she's happy.

    Bobby is a geeky teen who is convinced that his new foster home is everything he has ever hoped for.

    His foster mom Katya is so different than any he has ever had; but as her behavior becomes more and more unpredictable and disturbing, he comes to realize that both he and Katya’s daughter Zane are in trouble.

    The crazy thing is, Bobby doesn’t want to leave her, and new revelations from Bobby’s own forgotten past throw his quest for a real family into further turmoil.
