Xavier by Dale Mayer

Welcome to Hathaway House. Rehab Center. Safe Haven. Second chance at life and love.

Self-sabotage isn’t a concept Xavier is familiar with, until he ends up at Hathaway House—his application sent in with his buddy’s. When Xavier’s application was accepted, but his friend’s wasn’t, Xavier struggles with success. Even his arrival at Hathaway is bittersweet, knowing his friend has been rushed back to the hospital.
Tilly, a patient coordinator at Hathaway House, witnesses Xavier’s arrival, her heart tugging at his obvious sense of guilt. Even with Xavier’s stomach barely holding down food and with his mind and soul emotionally struggling without his buddy, she knows Xavier’s got what it takes to make a great recovery here—if he just focuses on his own life.

Hathaway is about progress, as Xavier’s about to find out, … with friends and without.
