Lyric is Ella & Micha’s daughter.  She is smart, talented, and compassionate.  She is the best of both her parents.  She is a ray of sunshine.  She is a “glass half full” kind of girl.  She loves fiercely.  She takes the world on full throttle.

Ayden is Lila & Ethan’s adoptive son.  They have adopted all four of their children.  These children were not adopted as babies, they were adopted when they were older.  They are former troubled foster children that were basically unadoptable.  Lila and Ethan wanted to give these children a chance at a happy life, they wanted to give these children the love and respect they deserved.  Ayden was was close to sixteen when Lila and Ethan adopted him.  He has come from a horrific background.  He and his siblings were kidnapped, abused, and tortured.  The experiences he had were so horrific, that when finally freed, he developed amnesia.  His anxiety levels are high.  It was very hard to accept his good fortune of being adopted by such a loving family.  The one person who helped open his heart and trust was Lyric.  Her unconditional friendship and positive attitude have been one of the greatest gifts in his life.  Although he really can’t put the past behind him even though he can’t remember it, he can finally move forward and embrace the good life he has been miraculously given.

In Unraveling You the reader gets an introduction to the characters.  They also get to experience the strong friendship that builds between Lyric and Ayden.  They get a picture of the dynamics of both families and their relationship to one another.

The book starts out when both Ayden and Lyric are just becoming independent of their parents.  They are learning to drive and dictating their own social calendars. The deep friendship that they form becomes as natural as breathing air.  Lyric is open and breezy, Ayden is reluctant and a bit withdrawn.  He is haunted by the scars of his past.  Although he cannot remember all of it, his body scars are living proof of the horrors he survived.

Life seems to be going on an even keel when Ayden’s past comes back in full force.  The police have found his older brother murdered.  They want Ayden to help with the case.  Even though Ayden cannot remember his past, the police want him to engage in some experimental therapy to kick start his memory and help with the case.

This book ends on a cliffhanger…..

Meanwhile his relationship with Lyric is moving into something more than friendship.  He is falling for her.  She is returning his feelings.  But his past is still a real problem beyond his memories.  He has serious issues with being touched.  He still has problems communicating his feelings.

Lyric and Ayden will grow into adulthood with a beauty that is all their own.  They express themselves through music and lyrics.  They give each other the right amount of comfort and the right amount of excitement.  But is it enough with Ayden’s past knocking on their doors.
