Elsie has been in the foster care system ever since she was three... and she has not been lucky. Almost every family she has had over the years has wanted her for something other than for a child to have a loving home. She's thirteen now, and the year is 2004. She's in a rough patch, when a young man and a band walk into her life. But even with the changes happening, a bit of eyeliner cannot fix tears. (Book 1/4)
