“If I'd known that living life from a new perspective meant saving someone else's life, I probably never would have said it."

New. New town, new school, new faces, new life. Amelia Madison doesn’t want to be the new kid in Emery Field until she realizes it means she can be anyone she chooses. And it just so happens, Amelia wants to be the girl that gets kicked out of the backwards town and be forced to move back to the city with her now bachelor father.
The only problem is, she’s not the worst Emery Field has dealt with.
When she meets a band of unlikely friends, and gets caught up in a scheme to clear their parent’s names, she finds herself in more trouble than she planned for.
Amelia’s entire understanding of delinquency and justification is put to the test and her beliefs are challenged as the dissident group shows her a new perspective on simply getting by and actually living.
