Jake Barnes suffers from severe depression, although the young artist will do anything but admit it. Instead, he claims to be haunted by a never-ending, addictive sorrow—a sorrow somehow both comforting and oppressing. Until he meets Smoke, that is.
Wild and seemingly carefree, Smoke's chain-smoking, rebellious posturing captivates Jake. When she suggests a spontaneous road trip, Jake, mere months from high school graduation, feels compelled to accept.
Bouncing from destination to destination in Smoke's beat-up band van, Jake and Smoke embark on an odyssey of self-discovery, their newly found friendship precariously balanced between happiness and obliteration.
As Jake confronts his all-absorbing depression, he realizes Smoke may be a way out of his sadness—a realization that terrifies him. If he hopes to survive and heal, he can't afford a dependence on any addiction, even one as alluring as the girl who asked him to leave Waden.

As a teenager, Jordan C. Rider was a quiet kid who spent most of her time with her nose in a book. Her high school years fluctuated between happy memories and depression. Those few years inspired Leaving Waden. She currently lives in New York City, where she is working toward a bachelor's degree in English at New York University.
Originally from New Jersey, Rider's love of the ocean continuously calls her home. She has two supportive parents, a wonderful extended family, and an amazing sister. In addition to writing, she paints, draws, and bakes a mean batch of chocolate chip cookies. Leaving Waden is her first novel.
