"Sky Fielder is a typical college student, except that she is a product of the foster care system, lives in a halfway house, and meets with her caseworker on a weekly basis. While failing to balance her grades and erratic social life, she receives a callfrom a hospital, asking her to make medical decisions for her brother Ben-who died more than a decade before. The call must be a scam, and besides, Sky has a new life now. None of her classmates know about her desperate and feral childhood in West Texas,where her brother kept her mind off hunger with adventures along the riverbeds and cliffs surrounding their trailer-or about the rash decision that cost him his life and almost ended hers. In fact, only one person truly knows Sky, because it's her job. But Sky's assigned caseworker, Laura, is an employee of social services, which surely means she can't be trusted. As Laura helps Sky unravel the mysteries surrounding the man in the hospital, Sky remembers the risks it takes to love and be loved. When the past and the present collide and long-kept secrets are revealed, Sky must decide how far she's willing to go to have a home and family again"--,Provided by publisher.
