   Summary

   Ryland wakes up on a planet 16.5 light years from home with nearly 2 decades worth of memories missing. He’s done incredible things, or so he’s told, but all of that is overshadowed by the painful process of remembering. There’s a lot of jagged edges around events from his life that he wishes remained buried. But for the first time, Ryland has the opportunity to pick up pieces previously left untouched, and create a stronger foundation for the new relationships in his one-of-a-kind, wild ride of a life.

   (Plenty of angst/hurt/comfort, flashbacks, etc. with fluff and lovely bits holding it together in between)
