Bonds That Beckon

Iris just wants to be accepted for who . . . or what . . . she is.
Iris is the newcomer in the close-knit small town of Salvation, West Virginia. She just wants to fit in and graduate from Salvation high, but there's something about her that the other students just don't get. Then she meets the mysterious Mr. Anu — also an outsider — who offers her an opportunity she can't pass by.
Things in Salvation aren't as sleepy as they seem, and the residents are quick to protect their own. What will Iris do when she ends up in opposition with the townspeople, and more importantly, the formidable Sheriff Stone?
Mr. Anu is telling her crazy things about what she is and what she’s meant for. In the midst of her confusion, things spiral out of control and Iris finds herself dropped out of school, homeless, and exposed when Sheriff Stone arrests her father. Then she meets the handsome and driven Jacob. She feels drawn to him. But does he feel the same?
She’ll have to decide if she believes in Mr. Anu, soulmates, and most of all herself. But will she be able to do any of that, especially when she sprouts . . . fur?
