Cal Lavender is perfectly happy living her anonymous life, even if she does have to play mother to her own mother a whole lot more than an 14-year-old should. But when Cal's mother has one of her "unfortunate episodes" in the middle of the public library, she is whisked off by the authorities and Cal is escorted to a seat in the back of a police car.
On "just a short, temporary detour from what I call life" Cal finds herself in a group home with four other girls, watched over by a strange old woman everyone refers to as the Knitting Lady. At first Cal can think of nothing but how to get out of this nuthouse. She knows she doesn't belong there. But it turns out her, all the girls, and even the Knitting Lady, may have more in common than imagined.
