Summary
Fifteen-year-old Elliot Gardner has everything money can buy-except safety. Behind the perfect Gardner family façade lurk bruises, whispered warnings, and the constant fear that his younger brother will be next. When a confrontation with his father leaves his face battered and his heart splintered, Elliot runs-anywhere but home.
Under a canopy of Connecticut stars, he stumbles into Stars Hollow, the quirkiest little town on the map. There's a porch light glowing on a blue two-story house and a fast-talking woman with coffee in hand-Lorelai Gilmore-who doesn't turn him away.
As Elliot tries to build a fragile new life among eccentric neighbors, Paris Geller's sharp-edged loyalty, Luke Danes's gruff kindness, and Rory's open heart remind him that family isn't always the one you're born into. But secrets don't stay buried forever, and Elliot must decide if he's brave enough to claim the future he's only dared to dream.
