Shuttled from one foster home to another, Marylee has never belonged anywhere. When she finds an abandoned baby, she is determined not to ever let April feel as unloved as she has. In desperation, she cons Petey, another neglected kid, into helping her raise the baby.

But what kind of life can she give April really? And what is happening to Petey? Marylee never knew that loving could hurt so much.
