Linda Balle, a self-conscious teenage cheerleader, must find the courage to get her life back after a tumultuous relationship with Victor Balentez results in her date rape and the death of her best friend, Lucas Castaneda. Following a lengthy, heart-breaking trial full of lies and shame, Linda runs from her friends, her family and her life to finish high school in a town far away from her pain.

Five years later, after years of plastic surgery and seclusion, Linda is summoned back to the small Texas town. In court, she has the opportunity to overcome her shame and tell the truth—to make sure the very person who dominated her high school years and tore her life apart stays in prison.

She must make the decision to continue to run from her fears or to face her demons.

Standing patiently in the side lines, Jack Santiago, an often over-looked friend, weaves an intricate web of love Linda can’t seem to avoid—but will Victor be able to let Linda live a life without him?
