Winona Prescott has only ever known a life of embarking on great adventures alongside her mother, whose successful art career takes her all over the world. She knows exactly what she wants for her future -- college, then more travels to pursue her own blossoming talent for art -- and her mother is going to be by her side ready to take on the world with her. That pleasant dream of blissful certainty turns into an inescapable nightmare when her mother perishes in a car accident, throwing Winona into a world of disarray and grief that she has no idea how to handle on her own. When she is forced to live with her estranged father and a stepfamily she wants nothing to do with in the small town of Port Lowell, she finds herself trapped in a life that no longer feels like her own. Just when she thinks she can sink no lower into her grief, a mysterious girl named Julia Parker comes along and shows her how to find the light in the darkness through a series of rule-breaking adventures, party excursions, and meaningful walks on the beach. However, Julia shows her that nothing is quite what it seems in Port Lowell. When another life-changing event strikes close to home, Winona is forced to face the haunting memory of the night of her mother's crash once and for all, and do the most difficult thing she'll ever have to do in her life: say goodbye.
