    Summary

    Fintan Layton, 16, managed to drag his best friend into a fight alongside him and still didn't manage to make sense of the day. He is just trying to get his head to stop thinking, or start thinking. No one understands him, least of all himself. He's told it's all a part of teenage rebellion or hormones or some shit, but that sounds too simple. Too basic. Fin wishes he could be so boring and simple, but his head's not screwed on right enough for that.

    And that was the better part of his day.

    OR - Fin is the 10th child of 12 from his father - a retired Navy SEAL and current sheriff to the county, on wife 5, and the kind of guy who is always leading a hand to everyone in need - the 6th and last child from his mother - a photojournalist and World traveler who seizes any and every opportunity life throws at her, no matter who stands in her way. He's got 3 nephews older than him, 4 nieces younger than him, 7 brothers, 4 sisters, 2 aunts, 3 uncles, 3 step mothers (basically), and 6 younger cousins. Plus 5 that married in. Basically, if you step into Willow Hills, there's a 1/5 chance you're going to bump into a Layton within ten minutes. That's just facts. He's basically living in Layton County.

    It sucks.

    They were his sons. He loved them.
