Nobody suspects anything. August seems normal. Why would she be different? She has friends, she writes good grades and is just like any other girl at school.
But the people don't know her. They don't know what her life is really like. What it's like at home.
There's home August, and there's school August; two totally different people.
She can't keep her secret for ever. It's going to be too much one day.
