Hadley Cooper has been relocated, again.
After her father has been moved by his company for the fifteenth-thousandth time this year, Hadley has no real place to call home, constantly being stuck in a mini-van for never-ending hours of driving on never-ending roads, traveling some place she knows she'll probably never see again after a few months.
And in every place, she's always just been a ghost, never really being noticed by anyone or let alone anything.
Until now.
