The Consequences of Abnormality

Seventeen year old Delaina Welker has never fit in; not with kids, not with adults, not even with her family. When she's had enough of the rejection she's faced her whole life, she leaves her home of Bismarck, North Dakota, changes her name to Erica, and finds shelter at a Foster Care system in Cleveland, Ohio. Sure she's been taken in by several families before, but in every household she's dealt with the same thing; denial from her family. But when the Donner family- an elderly couple and their blind, nine year old granddaughter- takes an interest in her, she experiences a different kind of life. In this family, she's wanted and approved of. She meets a boy who shows the same acceptance towards her, and she finally feels right. But this is Delaina we're talking about. Her luck only lasts so long.
