Out of Reach by Carrie Arcos
To be published: October 16, 2012 by Simon Pulse

Sixteen year old Rachel has always idolized her older brother Micah, but she knows he also secretly struggles with addiction. So when Micah doesn’t come home one night, Rachel panics.

Then Rachel gets an anonymous note telling her that Micah is a few hours away—and on the brink of destruction. Accompanied by Micah’s best friend Tyler, Rachel sets out to find her brother. With no concrete leads, Rachel and Tyler spend hours wandering the streets. But before Rachel can move on, she must confront her own dark secrets, her growing attraction to Tyler…and the possibility that Micah may never come home. {goodreads.com}

I feel like this book has the potential to be something very raw and emotional.  Some of my favorite contemporary novels are ones that dig deep and show the uglier side to life, yet presenting a piece of hope when one may not expect it.  I will definitely be eager for this book come October.

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
