Next comes college. But in between there's a yawning gulf--the last carefree summer vacation.Rowan's older brother Ben is smoking too much dope. Her best friend Danny is in love with her. And Catherine, the new girl in their small Ohio town,rubs her the wrong way. But that's OK. Rowan can deal with it.Just when she thinks she's got it all worked out, everything turns on its head. Catherine steals her heart, Danny falls out with her, and when Ben crashes the family car, the family secrets come tumbling out.All of a sudden, Rowan has a stark choice--is she going to grow up or give up?
