What is a human life worth?
There is a song for every moment. There is a song for our first kiss, our first love, and our first heartbreak. There are songs for the beautiful times and the times you can only wish to forget. Songs for the moments of fleeting terror and the moments of pure serenity. Growing up, there was a girl who always heard the music. She heard the notes as they guided her through the brief insanity that the people of Italy call vita and the people of Germany call Leben, but here in her world they call it life and she lives her life at the mercy of those who have forced her into a world of uncertainty.
Ruthie is a college student - a transplant from Maine to Indiana in search of the All-American college experience, but a mess up at the college's housing office has her rooming with a boy. A boy who becomes so much more to her than she could have imagined as the pair are forced to face the unspeakable world of human trafficking together.
