After Sally has lived in care for over twenlve years, someone has come forward and says she would like to be Sally's foster mother, and Sally can't be happier. It was the young and prettiest who got chosen as a rule. Sally has never been called pretty but she knows how to look after herself, that is until Ivy Webster comes into her life. Being told to go to her room whenever she has been disobedient is one thing, but a backhanded slap for no reason is another. Sally wants to run away, but there's no place to go... until a boy called Adam comes into her life.
