One Word: One More Day

by P. C. Houtzer

Overview

On the short side of eternity, depression, self-harm, addiction, and abuse are only a few of the issues that sent seventeen-year-old Zane Banks into the perfect downward spiral with no other choice.

In "One Word," P. C. Houtzer introduces us to Zane's soulmate, Adda Hawkins, who spends her days in tears, clinging to the remnants of a four-year fallen short forever. Zane's best friend since kindergarten, Hailey Miller, descends into an impulsive, depressive addiction as another burning ember sears her skin. Then his best friend of six years, Kyle Jones, tries his best to step into the shoes Zane left behind while juggling the high-school football team with a father who's less than a star. Each one wanted the best for Zane, and now it's getting the best of them in this unexpected, addicting, and inspiring journey where one word would have changed everything.
