Ronnie Jacobson has been kept from her father for many years, only ever getting to see him two months over the summer every year. Her mother always tried to brain wash her into thinking horrable things, but Ronnie knew better, and her grandmother made her see the real truth behind everything. Ronnies life with her mother was not one that she ever cares to remember. On sadder terms she moves to California to live where her grandmother and her used to once have great times together. Ronnie relives her memories, makes great friends, relives some horrible memories, and meets love along the way. She's only ninteen years old, and has many more years ahead of her, everyday slowly coping with the loss of her grandmother. But when her mother finds out that she left town...nothing will stop her from making sure that Ronnie sees nothing but misery along the way. Can love and friendship keep Ronnie a float? Or does her mothers torture, and hate kill her?
