Jeremy has never been happy. His mother left him when he was young to be raised by his abusive father. The only person he could rely on was his equally mistreated friend, Vanessa. Now at age 16, Jeremy is finally starting to wonder what more might be out in the world for him.

As his relationship with Vanessa begins to feel empty, Jeremy has his eye on the sweet and fun-loving Isabelle. But just when he decides to jump into the security and joy Isabelle offers, Vanessa ensnares him in a twisted game beyond any pain or fear he's yet faced.

A lightning-paced whirlwind of a novella, How Long That Darkness is a heartbreaking young adult thriller that hones in on the agonizing truth of parental abuse and the things we do to find our place in the world.
