It's all becoming too much for Alex to bear. Things take a surprising turn when Alex's mother discovers her relationship with Theo. After Alex is thrown out of her house and taken in by Theo's foster family, Alex can live honestly. For a while, things start to feel manageable. Alex finds a new group of friends. She navigates what ""family"" means beyond her mother and sister. She even considers forgiving her mother's past mistakes. But forgiveness requires honesty. Secrets Alex's mother has been keeping are surfacing, trying to bind Alex to misery. As Alex learns the full truth of her mother's past mistakes, she will need the love of her chosen family and friends to gently bind her life into a shape that keeps her whole.
