Grace Jackson is a seventeen-year-old junior with straight A's, two great friends, and a fantastic softball team. Her life would be perfect if her father didn't down ten bottles of whiskey every night and beat her whenever she messed up in the slightest. And her mother seemingly doesn't care... that too. But she has no control over her life anyway. One morning in late winter she is called to the office. Where she meets a new boy, who needs her help guiding him around the school and reading the daily assignment on the board, among other things. But... he's a jerk. A massive egotistical jerk. A mega super duper jerk, whatever you prefer. One night, her father goes off crazier than usual, landing her in a local foster home. This boy helps her through life in foster care and soon Grace and this boy are friends. But she can't help but want more.
