Life was difficult at Billy¿s house, especially after his mother left them. Billy and his family find themselves working many jobs just to put food on the table.

Fourteen-year-old Harper Whitmore has just entered high school as a naïve five-foot tall freshman who has a quick wit and an ability to hold her own.

Scott Pierce quickly moves in on Harper, leaving little chance for anyone else to date her. Both fascinated and terrified by her relationship with the seemingly worldly senior, Harper becomes a captivating subject of gossip that soon makes her keenly aware of how others see her relationship with a guy who always gets precisely what he wants. As she navigates her unconventional dating life, Harper slowly discovers she is becoming just what her peers see in Scott. Despite the hurdles they face together, they believe they are good for each other. But at whose expense?
