Seventeen-year-old Katy Stevens eats, sleeps and breathes running. From hobby to high school track star, all of her hard work and training is about to pay off. In only a few short months the scholarship of her dreams awaits her, all she just has to do is get through the summer.

Only when tragedy strikes her family does life as she once knew it change. What was second nature to her quickly becomes her worst fear. Katy is left reeling with a decision that could change her future and a secret that threatens to destroy everything she has left.

With the pain of her loss, and the all consuming web of lies chipping away at her mental health Katy meets Darrin. He's cute and charming and has her yearning for the parts of herself she'd closed off.  As she opens herself up to their undeniable connection she falls in love and forgoes the heaviness of her reality. 
But beneath the surface of her facade a secret festers alongside a truth that begs to be told. Will Katy succumb to her fears or find the strength to do what is right and set herself free?
