Berlin has always known that her days in her mother's house were numbered. The bruises and harsh words had been warning enough, and by the time her last day of high school arrives, she's already packed her bags, ready for the moment she'd been dreading for years. Her mother's decision to kick her out wasn't a surprise-it was a promise long made and finally fulfilled.
With nothing but a small suitcase and the weight of her past, Berlin steps into the unknown. She craves peace, a quiet corner of the world where she can finally breathe without fear. But the world outside is more chaotic and unforgiving than she anticipated. Every turn brings new challenges-finding a place to sleep, dodging those who would take advantage of her vulnerability, and confronting the shadows of her past that threaten to pull her under.
