Diana Parker is a lonely girl running from a horrible past. She first ran away when she was sixteen from St. Louis to Chicago, and now finds herself running away again two years later. She has dealt with lots of abuse in her life and finds it hard to trust people. Lost and afraid and with no one to turn to for help, she hits the road to another city, and hopefully a better future. But will her past follow her or will she be able to leave it behind? Will she continue shutting people out or learn to trust again?
