Darcia Dannison is on a scholarship to a school called Clairell Academy, which was among the top schools in America. Everyone there had, more or less, her intelligence, but none was as attractive as she was. With her tall, skinny legs, and her thick, long, shiny dark brown hair, she was, unintentionally, able to capture a lot of attention from the people in her school. Lots were petrified by her beauty, but who was able to catch HER attention? Was the person who was able to get her attention, attracted to her the way she was to him?
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
