Lizbetty Skye thought she had everything. Everything being her town and the people who lived there. Friends, family, her house- you get the idea. She deemed her life as "perfect."
But one September evening, just two weeks after school started up again, Lizbetty and her older brother Michael are told some horrid news during dinner. Their parents are getting divorced?
To top off the conversation, they're moving. Where you might ask? Well, she doesn't know. And to make matters worse, her protests can't change her parents minds! Even if her entire life is grounded in this town, they won't listen.
Despite everything, she's eventually dragged into the unfamiliar new city on the other side of her country. This means, of course, she'll have to adjust to a new version of everything, but Lizbetty's been against this from the start, is there even anything in existence to change her mind?
