For almost three years now Katrina has been living a hard life. Not only does she have to care for herself with the little money and energy she has, but she also has little Kiana to look after. A new school, new people. But with new people comes new possibilities. Will life only get harder with her move, or will it gradually get easier?

Abby Elliott and Van Taylor have been close for years. Close in friendship, close to killing each other when they disagree, and they even live across the street from each other. But one affair, a drunken kiss, and not to mention their whole group of friends that's been together for years, could really change things....

Falling in love is hard to do when no one will even look at you, and those that do hurry to look away. Andrea is a seventeen year old girl who has always wished for a sense of belonging, but being only half native to her tribe sets her apart from everyone else. And the other townspeople of Wapatau seem to avoid her just as easily. But life is always easier with a good friend. Her best (and only) friend Kaida has always been her moral support, and Kaida’s older brother Konai has always been there to tear her back down. With only days left in school, and the Spring Equinox festival just around the corner, Andrea looks at her life like a glass half empty. Until a random series of events, and a dark and stormy night, change her life forever.
