"I'd flown over a thousand miles to begin a new life I didn't want in a place I didn't want to be."After losing her parents and little sister in a car accident, sixteen-year-old Brittany Masters moves to San Francisco to live with her aunt, uncle, and cousin. She finds herself in a place far away from the only home she has ever known in the Colorado mountains and away from her beloved horse, Mariah. Her cousin David proves to be a bright spot in her life. Funny and upbeat, David introduces her to a world she's never known. At first, she's not sure she wants to interact with the people David hangs out with or deal with their hard situations. But in time, she's drawn into this world, and with it, she makes new friends and even falls in love. On the outside, Brittany appears to be finding a place of belonging in her new home. But underneath it all, she blames herself for causing the car accident that killed her family. She carries internal scars and grief that continually haunt her. And then one fateful decision forever changes her life.
