Ruby's world is thrown into turmoil when her deadbeat dad shows up on her sixteenth birthday. As Ruby tries to make sense of this unexpected event, she comes to realize that her mother and the friends she has relied on for so long may not be what they appear on the surface. This coming-of-age story is realistic and emotional.
