Influence

Sixteen-year-old Virginia Blue wilts in the gray, colorless dead end of her Texas hometown. Her only refuge is influencer Minerva King, whose streams transport Virginia to the sunny shores of California, where Virginia's troubles melt into the azure waves and white sands of endless possibility.

Pushed to her limit by her best friend's death and her mother's abuse, Virginia runs away to meet Minerva, unaware that her cross-country journey will unleash a wave of figurative and literal evil that will change both girls' lives forever.
