WAITING FOR FITZ

Addie loves watching The Great British Baking Show with her mom. It's one of the few things that helps her relax when her OCD kicks into overdrive. She counts everything. All the time. She can't stop. It's exhausting.

When Fitz was diagnosed with schizophrenia, he named the voices in his head after famous country singers. He loves foreign films, and T-shirts with puns.

The adolescent psychiatric ward at Seattle Regional Hospital isn't exactly the ideal place to meet your soul mate, but when Fitz meets Addie, they immediately connect over their shared love of words, quick wit, and how they wish they could make sense of their lives. Fitz is haunted by his past, but he knows if he can just get to San Juan Island, everything will be okay.

Escaping the hospital becomes the first step of a journey for Fitz and Addie as they learn about life and love, forgiveness and courage, and what's necessary to let go and what's worth waiting for.
