Learning to Love Dana Confair

Emily is pretty, smart, and talented. Everything seems to come easy for her until she needs to make some decisions about her future. Jamie is a typical teenager who is always in her best friend Emily's shadow. She knows what she wants to do with her future, but her family doesn't support her choices. When Jamie's mom remarries, her new stepsister Kelly moves in with them. Jamie is excited at first. Kelly is only two years younger and she likes to dance. Jamie and Emily have been taking dance classes together for years, so they are happy to bring Kelly with them to their class. It turns out that she is very talented and fits right in at the studio. But life with her new stepsister isn't as easy as it first looked. Kelly has a temper that matches her fiery red hair. She has spent time in juvenile hall, she doesn't trust adults, and has a bad habit of running away when things go wrong. She spends more time partying than she does doing her homework, and deliberately disobeys the rules. After just two months of her new living situation, Kelly runs off and doesn't come back. Almost six months later, she shows up to their dance class like nothing was wrong. Jamie and Emily try to get her to move back home, to no avail. Then they find out that Kelly has been keeping some big secrets from them that will affect Jamie's family. When one of the girls suffers a tragic accident that will change her life forever, Kelly is the first one to step in and help. Along the way, Kelly learns a few lessons about love, family, and friendship. Will love be enough to keep Kelly from running away for good this time?
