Natalie, a 17 year old girl, lives in a small town in North Carolina. In one year she will be going to college at USC (University of Southern California). Her whole life changes when she meets a boy named Niall.
After her years of abuse from men, Alicia vowed to never again love a man. Until she found Niall.
Alicia was just a homeless girl escaping the clutches of her drunken mother and her mother's boyfriend abuse. Leaving at only the age of 15, Alicia now finds herself at 18 still homeless and on the streets. When she spies a boy who plays in a local bar in New York, she never expected what could happen by just being spotted by the boy.
Will years of abuse hide her true feelings? Or will this boy make her learn to love again?
