"Ever since Lucy Smith's father died five years ago, 'home' has been more of an idea than a place. She knows being on the run is better than anything waiting for her as a ward of the state. But when the sharp-eyed and kind Mr. Jameson, a man with an interest in her case, comes looking for her, Lucy wonders if hiding from her past will ever truly keep her safe. Five years in the foster system have taught her to be cautious and smart. But she wants to believe Mr. Jameson and his 'friend-not-friend,' a tall and fierce-looking woman, when they say they want to be a part of her life. They also tell Lucy the truth her father hid from her: She is Ojibwe; she has--had--a sister; and she has more siblings, a grandmother who'd look after her, and a home where she would be loved. But Lucy is being followed. As her secrets threaten to swallow her whole, Lucy must decide what she's willing to give to protect the only love she has left"-- Dust jacket flap.
