On top of struggling with life at home, Sophia Ann Hart has to suddenly move to a new place. She must adjust to her new surroundings--a new city and a new school. With this move, Sophia meets two boys who quickly become her best friends, offering her a new perspective on life, and help her find a sense of belonging and purpose. Alongside each other, through all that could go wrong and all that may go right, the three new friends navigate the challenges of adolescence, supporting each other when they need it. However, sometimes, even on the most exciting journeys, the bad times can overshadow the good ones, and a lie can hurt, especially when believed by a friend. It can be difficult to see what really matters--true friendship and, ultimately, a real family.
