Unsteady: A Prequel

Summary:

Sixteen-year-old Josie May's mom disappeared without a trace, and the only family she has is her twenty-one-year-old brother, Matt Casey, fresh out of academy and one month into his probationary year at the firehouse. Follow along the journey as Matt learns how to navigate being a brother and a guardian, and Josie struggles with figuring out who she is, finding her place at her new school and in her new home, and learning how to accept the unconditional love and care her brother offers.
