Raleigh Sulla was, up until a few weeks ago, a regular small town girl. She lived in a big house, went to a small school, was a brilliant artist, had a few friends, and read avidly. But now, on the eve of her fifteenth birthday, a long lost cousin shows up to take her from her adoptive family in Scotland back to her birth parents in America. Now, she is forced to make a choice: stay in her comfortable, familiar world, with her friends (and her crush), or join her unknown family in America, in a new school, new friends, and a new life.
