Sixteen-year-old Colby Bingham’s heart has been broken too many times. Her mother is dead, her truck driver father is always away, and her almost girlfriend just dumped her for a guy. When an injured stray dog lands at her feet, she decides to care for it, against her better judgment. But new connections mean new opportunities for heartbreak. Terrified of another loss, Colby bolts at the first sign of trouble, managing to alienate her best friend, her father, the cute girl pursuing her, and even her dog’s vet, who’s taken Colby under her wing. Colby can’t start over, but can she learn how to move on?

This book sounds like an emotional read. It is just the type of book I love to read. Thanks for being part of the YAmazing race.
Thanks for being a part of the race! This sounds like a unique book, especially with the LGBT angle.

Sounds like a great read, thank you for being part of the race.
*phew* that security question was tough [six +7] making me do math XD
anyways, I LOVE the concept of this book. Honestly more authors should take on the topic of LGBT, because it helps ppl understand more. LOVE the simple yet ROCKING cover! =D

I’m a huge fan of the cover, too. Beats out a stock photo any day of the week.
Great timing–I’m in the middle of Starting From Here as we speak! I’m really enjoying it but sadly it lives on my Kindle–I would love a signed copy to proudly display on my shelves!
