Emotional attachment to friends? foster families? a boyfriend? Nope! There´s no room for any additional baggage. Muir has just one year left before she ages out of the system. One year before she´s free. One year to avoid anything--or anyone--that could get in her way. Then she meets Francine. And Kira. And Sean. And everything changes.
