About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their teenager begins to question family history or feels a growing sense of isolation due to frequent life changes. It is a powerful resource for the child who feels like an outsider or struggles with a parent who is overly secretive. The story follows fourteen year old Nina, who has spent her life moving from town to town at her mother Joyce's whim. As Nina matures, she begins to see the cracks in their nomadic lifestyle and realizes that her mother's erratic behavior hides a dark, life-altering secret. This suspenseful drama explores the delicate transition from blind childhood trust to the complicated reality of adult independence. While it contains elements of a thriller, its heart lies in the emotional weight of identity and the courage required to seek the truth about one's own origins. It is best suited for readers aged 12 and up who are navigating their own path toward self-reliance.
