Ever since Lucy Smith's father died five years ago; "home" has been more of an idea than a place. She knows being on the run is better than anything waiting for her as a "ward of the state". Five years in the foster system has taught her to be cautious and smart. But she wants to believe the sharp-eyed and kind Mr. Jameson and his "friend-not-friend:" a tall and fierce-looking woman who say they want to look after her.
They also tell Lucy the truth her father hid from her: She is Ojibwe; she has - had - a sister; and more siblings; a grandmother who'd look after her and a home where she would be loved.
But Lucy is being followed. The past has destroyed any chance at safety she had. Will the secrets she's hiding swallow her whole and take away any hope for the future she always dreamed of? When the past comes for revenge; it's fight or flight.
