Willow is that quiet girl at the back of the class that keeps to herself. No one knows much about her because she's a loner, but everyone knows she's not to be messed with. Although quiet and emotionless, everyone knows that she can make your life a living hell if you push her to much. Willow has a lot in her hands for a seventeen year old. She's turning eighteen in a few months, but she's not going to pack up and leave her family behind like her sister did. She can't. With two younger brothers to take care of, an abusive father who only comes home to eat and beat them, and a mother who's sick with cancer she has to be strong for them. But she preserves and pushes through rough times even though she's tired with all the work she has. As her mother had always told her, "Keep your head up high, beautiful. The good things happen to those who wait."

But then everything goes wrong starting with a tall, dark boy.
