How do you live your life if your past is based on a lie? A new novel in both verse and prose from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Ellen Hopkins.
This is a memorable portrait of two young women trying to make sense of their lives and coming face to face with themselves--for both the last and the very first time..
What is Ariel supposed to believe? Is it possible Dad\'s woven her entire history into a tapestry of lies? How can she choose between the mother she\'s been taught to mistrust and the father who has taken care of her all these years? In bestselling author Ellen Hopkins\'s deft hands, Ariel\'s emotionally charged journey to find out the truth of who she really is balances beautifully with Maya\'s story of loss and redemption.
Her father kidnapped her fourteen years ago.
Ariel and Maya\'s lives collide unexpectedly when Ariel\'s mother shows up out of the blue with wild accusations: Ariel wasn\'t abandoned.
But now she\'s isolated with a baby on the way, and life\'s getting more complicated than Maya ever could have imagined.
Maya\'s a teenager who\'s run from an abusive mother right into the arms of an older man she thinks she can trust.
Complicating things are Monica and Gabe, both of whom have stirred a different kind of desire.
Dad says home is wherever the two of them are, but Ariel is now seventeen and after years of new apartments, new schools, and new faces, all she wants is to put down some roots.
Ariel\'s mom disappeared when she was a baby.
For as long as she can remember, it\'s been just Ariel and Dad.
