A girl with secrets. A bad boy in trouble. A community out to get them.
Sophia's lifelong mission is to avoid trouble. It's safer that way. If you don't get noticed, trouble leaves you alone.
A few short months ago she had the perfect family, but not anymore. As she nurses a painful secret, home and school implode around her and trouble comes knocking. Trouble has a name and a face. And trouble's going to get her killed.
Driven out of her friendship group, Sophia finds comfort in all the wrong places. The secret she keeps will tear her world apart and it's easier to become involved in someone else's problems than face her own. Stepping out of her seemingly perfect life and model home, she finds a whole other world on her doorstep.
Is it possible to sit in class with someone for four years without seeing their hunger, the holes in their shoes or the bruises on their body? And once you know, what can you do?
