   Summary

   Two boys walk toward death and find love instead.
   Between the miles and the rain, Ray Garraty learns that Pete McVries tastes like cinnamon, almond, and survival—and Pete learns that love can still bloom, even on the road to dying.

   Only one keeps walking.
   The other lets the rain take him home.

   But that isn't the end, no. Just the beginning of a love story unfolding.
