Letters from Leah Berkley

Casey Higgens, a sixteen-year-old girl, is caught in the crossfire of a brutal custody battle that consumes her world. With her life unraveling in courtrooms and attorney meetings, she finds comfort in an unexpected place—her job at Macie’s Diner, and in Nate, the boy who slowly becomes her anchor. As Casey clings to the hope of reuniting with her mother, she begins to uncover secrets buried deep within her family’s past that challenge everything she has been told. Told through alternating perspectives between Casey and Nate, this coming-of-age novel explores first love, the hidden cracks in a seemingly perfect family, a boy caught in the shadows of his silent battles, and a girl’s fight to reclaim her voice in a world that keeps trying to silence it.
