Where Happiness Dwells

Description：At fourteen, Aurora Cross had nothing — an abusive father, no mother, and nowhere to go. In desperation, she walked into a tattoo parlor at the end of Peace Alley and handed a crumpled ten-yuan note to the young man inside."I hear you charge protection money. Can you protect me?"He laughed. And then, for that ten yuan, Orion Smith protected her for ten years.What began as shelter became family. What became family became something neither of them had words for. But Orion Smith carried a secret — one that would eventually ask everything of him — and the path he was always meant to walk would take him somewhere she could not follow.*Where Happiness Dwells* is a sweeping, devastating literary novel about survival, found family, quiet heroism, and the love that endures even when the person doesn't.
