Sixteen-year-old Keysha Kendall has lived with her emotionally abusive mother all her life. Her world is thrown into chaos when she is forced to move in with her biological father to avoid being placed in foster care. Suddenly Keysha's feeling like an outsider and unsure whether living with her father is where she truly belongs. Original.

Sixteen-year-old Keysha Kendall is a judge's signature away from foster care when she's sent to live with the father she never knew. Suddenly she has her own room in his big fancy house, a high-powered stepmother and a popular half brother who can introduce her to all the right people at her new school.

But Keysha can't forget where she came from. And she won't let anyone else, either. Why should her father and his perfect family have it so easy when she and her mother had it so hard? And so Keysha hooks up with a rough crowd and does “whatever” she wants...until what she wants changes real fast....
