Dani Moran is an A student with a rock band and wide interests in life journeys to pursue. She believes she's going places ... until she falls for Desmond Carvey.

The deeper Dani descends into her separate world with Desmond-one full of violence and chaos-the more tension grows with her close-knit, Catholic family. As Dani distances from them, she questions the authenticity of their relationships, her self-image, and her view of reality.

The book takes you on a dark, gritty journey through Dani's psyche. You'll experience the way perspective can be twisted to make the traumatic seem not only ordinary, but even deserved at times.

After Dani faces some difficult decisions about her future, she learns about forgiveness, self-empowerment, and how to love and be loved by people who may never agree with you.

Dani's turbulent relationships and struggles with new adulthood along with shots of humor and flashbacks to heart-warming memories make this story a roller coaster ride. When the ride's over, you'll be glad you took it, and changed in some way.
