A runaway, a baby and a whole lot of questions...

Lissa is home on her own after school one afternoon when a stranger turns up on the doorstep carrying a baby. Reed is on the run - surely people are looking for him? Hes trying to find out who he really is and thinks Lissas mum might have some answers. But how could he be connected to Lissas family - and why has he been left in charge of a baby? A baby who is sick, and getting sicker ...

Reeds appearance stirs up untold histories in Lissas family, and suddenly she is having to make sense of her past in a way she would never have imagined. Meanwhile, her brother is dealing with a devastating secret of his own.

A beautiful and timely coming-of-age story about finding out who you are in the face of crisis and change.
