Diana's seventeen years slipped before her clean blue eyes so silently, she could hardly notice. Proud and lonely, she is more focused on watching her loved ones live than on living her own life. She has always been overshadowed by her twenty-year-old adopted sister; the beautiful Khady, an exotic, mixed race girl, gifted with a charming voice. Her only confi dante is a peculiar "half-nun". But it is 1999, the New Millennium is coming in Rome, and anything can happen when you are seventeen. You could even stumble upon the traces of your past, which is full of painful secrets, and be overwhelmed by feelings and discoveries that will change your path to the future. Forever.
