Libby’s soldier husband rescued her from a hopeless life. When he is killed in Iraq, Libby falls back into her old patterns, changing men and locations. Eleven-year-old Kiwi has already lost her father, now she’s terrified of losing her mom, as well.

Out of self-preservation, Kiwi commits an act of violence that shatters their fragile bond and sends them on the run. But Kiwi is the stronger one. Even though she believes her mother can no longer love her, she struggles to practice what her father taught her: Do the right thing, even when no one is watching.
