19 year old Valerie Burns didn't want this. She didn't want her parents to die when she was 11. She didn't want to live with her meth-addicted brother. What she did want was a chance at a normal life.
A horrific night changes Valerie's life forever, when her ex-boyfriend breaks into her apartment. He beat her. He raped her. And that was the last straw.
Valerie wants a new start, so what better start then Sydney, Australia. Weeks before the incident she received a few college acceptances packages. One being a full ride to Sydney University's Marine Biology program.
While there, life decides to take a turn, when she gets to know Brody Davis, a care free Aussie with no chance of slowing down his fast pasted life.
She leaves New York to get away from all the pain the people in the city has given her.
He, just wants to show her what life can be.
Will Australia be the new beginning she has always wanted, or will he just remind her of every screwed up thing she left behind?
