"Once upon a time, I was hit in the face with a soccer ball." Parker Pierce wishes she was in someone else's story. A story where her life is normal, and she can forget the ghosts that haunt her past, and the secrets that plague her future. Instead, her tale becomes much more intricate when she attends the mysterious yet elusive Redwood Grammar, and her friends and family let her in on the reason why her life has never, and will never, be normal.
