The Scarecrow and George C

High school senior Van Liss is barely human. He thinks of himself as a scarecrow--ragged and unnerving stuck and destined to spend his life cold and alone. If he ever had feelings they were stomped out long ago by his selfish mother and her lecherous boyfriend. All hes been left with is bitter contempt to which he clings.With a rough exterior long used to keep the world at bay Van spooks George Curaco the handsome new fry cook at the diner where he works. But George C senses there is more to the untouchable Van and refuses to stop staring fascinated by his eccentricity. When Van learns that George C is even more cold alone and frightened than himself Van welcomes him to his empty home. And ends up finding his heart.Their road to trust is rocky and at times even dangerous. And looming evil threatens to keep them apart forever.Fair warning: You may want to strap in. Its going to be a bumpy ride.
