The story of an ordinary girl's encounter with an extraordinary hero and what trials and tribulations come after.

Thea Garrity lived through It the day Lana Stanley brought a gun to Townshill High school and opened fire. Two people never made it out of the school alive. Now, seven months after the fact, Thea has graduated and done everything in her power to forget about that day in October. As a former straight-A student with college ambitions, it came as a shock to her parents when she decided that she wanted to take a year off before going to college. For the first time in her life, she has no plans, no idea what she's supposed to do next, and as the summer looms ahead of her unceremoniously, there is one thing she's sure of: She's fine.
