All because she was different. because she wanted to stand out....to live her dreams. Years of pain and torture, wishing she wasn't born, being pushed around by people in the higher social status, but she knew she couldn't do anything. 3 years later, on Friday Night, Avery convinced her parents to go for a little family dinner together. But on the drive there, they were invovled in a car accident. Avery was taken to the emergency room, where she was treated for head injuries and a broken arm and leg and bruises everywhere. Avery may have just survived death, but her parents didn't. Now with a healed body, she is forced to move to America to live with her Aunt Caroline. She begins a new school as a senior, meeting people on her way, making close friends....and some enemies. But will Avery open up to the new people who care about her, or will she stay closed forever.
