Carter had never dealt with change particularly well. Or school. Or people, for that matter. When she's suddenly whisked away to the other side of the country to live with her estranged mother, she finds herself faced with all three of these things. Add in a touch of mama drama, a hint of cutlery violence, and one infuriating, green-eyed, tat-toting nincompoop, and you have an impressive recipe for disaster. How will Carter survive? Will she make it through the year? Just one year--that was the agreement after all.
