Sarah Hamilton it not like other girls in some ways she cannot change. But, in most ways, she is exactly like other girls. Her father removed her from her Amish upbringing suddenly at age twelve for reasons she doesn't quite understand. Now she is an an outcast at her local high school, save for one close friend who understands her completely. As her body changes and develops, there are a lot of things going on that she doesn't understand. The one thing she does understand, however, is that she wants to be just like everybody else. She wants a boyfriend, and she wants to go to dances. She isn't afraid to swim in the deep waters of her changing circumstances if these trials can deliver her the changes she is seeking. Unfortunately for Sarah, some waters run so deep that they are dangerous. Sometimes change is sudden and unexpected. Sometimes it catches up with you too quickly. At a yearly party that Sarah has been looking forward to for a long time, she's about to confront the danger that always lurks when change happens without awareness. She's about to find out who she is, where she came from, and whether or not she can survive on her own…"She knew who she was and what she wanted. She wanted to date, have a boyfriend, hold hands, and do more than hold hands. She wanted to grow up and do dangerous things that were embarrassing, but enjoyable, and always, always worth it."
