Jac is running from her pain.An eighteen-year-old bound for Harvard, Jac realizes she's nowhere close to who she wants to be... and she's not even sure who that is.

She finds herself in Los Angeles, California-- The City of Angels, and, she learns, dreamers. Amid a group of actors, artists, singers, and poets, Jac finds more than she bargained for. She finds herself, a family, and love she never dreamed she deserved. But the life she left behind haunts her, and the loneliness and pain that drove her to run are always right on her heels. The girl who ran has a choice to make, in the end. Does she keep running, keep moving to stay ahead of everything she never wanted... or does she find a way to finally face the things that broke her?
