Which is why when her mother leaves her behind to go on a year-long trip to France with her new boyfriend, Madison isn't surprised. Although, she isn't happy about it either. She's especially not happy about the fact that not only is she being left behind yet again, she's being dropped at a stranger's doorstep. An old friend of her mother's that she's never met before. Without knowing anything about who she's living with, Madison quickly realizes that this isn't going to be any ordinary year. She's been stuck with the Fishers, a group of rowdy brothers that are ready to make this the most dramatic, exciting, difficult year of Madison's life.
