I’ve never read anything by Trish Doller before this book, but she is an amazing writer.  She does a really good job of writing characters and plot lines that draw you in and make you care about them.  You can feel the guilt that Callie feels when she realizes she is forgetting about her mom, and you can feel how happy she is when she learns how to be a friend and how good it feels to tell that friend everything.

This story is about a seventeen year old girl, Callie, who lives with her mom.  The catch is that her mom kidnapped her when she was little and they are constantly on the run.   Callie doesnt know this until they get pulled over for driving a stolen car and she has to go back to living with her father.  She’s been on the run for twelve years though, so it takes some getting used to.  After running off a few times only to come home her dad being glad she is safe and accepting her punishment, Callie finally begins to settle down with her new old family and set down roots.  Which is when her mom comes back into the picture and she feels guilty for feeling good about where she is.  With the help of her cousin/best friend, she learns that she has to do what is best for her, not anyone else.

Be prepared to feel like you know these people personally when you read this one.  And be prepared to laugh, cry, and celebrate with the characters.  This is a good one.
