Madison (Mads) Carter has never fit the mold. Raised by her grandmother in a small coastal town after her mom walked out, she’s learned to rely on her sharp tongue, DIY skills, and stubborn independence. When her grandmother falls ill and Mads is sent to live with family friends in Silver Falls, she isn’t interested in blending in with the Waltons’ picture-perfect chaos—or anyone else’s. Madi would rather tinker with engines in the garage, blast her punk playlists, and keep people at arm’s length.
