About this ebook
Pattyn’s father is dead. Now she’s on the run in this riveting companion to New York Times bestseller Burned, which Kirkus Reviews calls “a strong, painful, and tender piece about wresting hope from the depths of despair.”
Pattyn Von Stratten’s father is dead, and Pattyn is on the run. After far too many years of abuse at the hands of her father, and after the tragic loss of her beloved Ethan and their unborn child, Pattyn is desperate for peace. Only her sister Jackie knows what happened that fatal night, but she is stuck at home with their mother, who clings to normalcy by allowing the truth to be covered up by their domineering community leaders. Her father might be finally gone, but without Pattyn, Jackie is desperately isolated.
Alone and in disguise, Pattyn starts a new life as a migrant worker on a California ranch. But is it even possible to rebuild a life when everything you’ve known has burned to ash and lies seem far safer than the truth?
Bestselling author Ellen Hopkins continues the riveting story of Pattyn Von Stratten she began in Burned to explore what it takes to rise from the ashes, put ghosts to rest, and step into a future.

I've read every book, if she continues to write them I'll continue to read them. Ellen Hopkins books reach into my heart and light up my soul on a personal level. She speaks the truth and the way she writes is poetic in more ways than one. Best author hands down. This book was just as wonderful as the first and all the others. I'm so glad she ended it on a happy note.

I've read 90% of Ellen Hopkins books and they never dissappoint. I love how you get too see two sides of the story from Patty and Jackie. They both got the love they truly deserved from 2 AMAZING boys. Read this book in a couple of hours, couldn't put it down, great ending from burned

Pattyn got the ending she deserves! Love this book and it brought closure to my curiosity of Burned. Ellen Hopkins is an amazing writer and I recommend this book! the only thing I didn't like was that I couldn't change the format of the text of pattyns side of the story. But over all, a must read!
