When Victoria Parker's father locks her out of the house at 3:00 a.m. one morning, she is dumped into a crowded, chaotic foster home. Now she has to tiptoe around her domineering foster mother, get through senior year at a new school, and somehow salvage her college dreams while keeping her past hidden. But unwanted memories make Victoria freeze up at random moments and nightmares disrupt her sleep. Even worse, she can't stop worrying about her stepsister Sarah, left behind with her father. How do you focus on the future when the past won't leave you alone?
