Selena Fearthe is seventeen. She lives in an orphanage with her friends, sister, and son. A new girl comes to the orphanage, and she's not a talker. Selena tries everything she can to make her own life better. But with going to a shrink, having a baby, having no parents, a sister who now barely acknowledges her, and siblings who may or may not have some sort of romance going on, it seems to be kind of impossible.
