Skylar Wilde is nineteen years old, newly transferred to Redhale High, and determined to start over.
A new town.
A new school.
A new life.
No one in Redhale knows where she came from, and Skylar intends to keep it that way.
Between classes, early morning runs, and trying to build a future she never thought she would have, she slowly begins to find a place for herself among the people around her.
There is Hailey, the shy girl who becomes her first real friend.
Ella, the energetic four-year-old next door who decides almost immediately that Skylar belongs in her world.
And Claire Conner.
The strict, composed teacher who never seems to lose control of anything.
At least not on the surface.
As the months pass, unexpected connections begin to form, and the life Skylar is building becomes harder to walk away from.
But some secrets refuse to stay buried.
And some people are willing to destroy everything to make sure the past is never forgotten.
