Seventeen-year-old Georgia Miller is beautiful, sharp, and dangerously resourceful - a teenage mom who will lie, cheat, and steal to protect her young daughter, Ginny. After their latest con nearly catches up to them, Georgia escapes to the picture-perfect town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts, with a wealthy older man in tow - a man she pretends to love for the sake of survival.
He knows she's underage. He doesn't care. With forged documents claiming she's 21, Georgia becomes his charming, mysterious "wife" and settles into a new life built on secrets.
Wellsbury seems like a clean slate, but Georgia knows better than to trust appearances. She's here for safety, not happily-ever-after. Yet things get complicated when she meets her neighbors - the charming and dramatic Maxine, and her brooding twin brother Marcus. Max is drawn to Georgia's confidence and sparkle, while Marcus sees something darker beneath the surface... and maybe that's what pulls him in.
Young Georgia is a gritty, emotional reimagining of Ginny & Georgia, told from the perspective of a teenage girl pretending to be a woman - juggling lies, lust, and motherhood in a town that's too clean to be real. It's a slow-burn coming-of-age survival story, where danger lurks behind smiles, and love - real love - might be the most dangerous game of all.
