    Logan is your standard mixed up mixed kid, a high school junior who’s just trying to navigate the stresses of school, the future, a mentally ill Mom who he has to take care of, and the intense feelings of love that’s he’s experiencing for the first time. Along the way he’ll seek advice from his best friend and loyal sidekick Pete, and do his best to talk to the beautiful and complex Annalise, the goddess in human form who Logan meets for the first time in these pages.
    Including the first two chapters of Away From Here for free, Our Story introduces the themes of adolescence, first loves, and the challenges of living with mental illness that will make you remember the whirlwind of being a teenager.

      Early Reviews of Away From Here from Goodreads

      https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/38212508-away-from-here

      "Reading this book moved me in a way no other book has done before. I laughed out loud, I teared up, I smiled, and I suffered heartbreak right along with Logan and Annalise. I could see a little of myself in both of them, and I know you will too. Away From Here will stay with me forever, no doubt. This book is not just a Young Adult novel. It's for everyone."

      ---Shelly

      "What a wonderful YA story!!! But I don't want everyone to think it's only a YA story because it’s an everybody story. I knew when I was 3% in and already crying it was going to be good…I had indeed fell into the rabbit hole of this book not to be seen again until I was finished with this book. What a wonderful YA story for this author."

      ---Misti

      "The way the author laid out the ups and downs of that first love, albeit one skewed by many other issues going on inside the homes of each character, it gave a glimpse of how a teenage mind processes and understands their first love. The story, for me, was about more than the mental illness Logan’s character and Anna’s character were both experiencing at home and carrying into a relationship it was about how one person can inspire and save another from going down the same path they see at home… This book is amazing, from the beginning to the end and I hated finishing it because I wanted to stay in that story longer. All good things come to an end. I recommend this book for everyone, it isn’t just for young adults, I think it is a book for everyone to get something out of. 10/10"

      ---Anna

      "This book is so much more than a Young Adult Novel. It’s a reflection of all of us...Our struggles, our happiness, our strength to move on from disappointments to be a stronger person. I can easily identify myself with the characters because I've been there and I still am. One thing I learned from this book is, that mental
