Two years after exchange student Ailbe O'Rourke arrives, the friendship he and Isla formed takes a turn, but admitting that she has developed stronger feelings for him could not only jeopardize the friendship they share, but his ability to remain with the family. Rejection is not something 18-year-old Isla is ready to chance, but denying her feelings will leave her wondering about what could have been. Carrying such a heavy burden already, Isla's dilemma becomes even more complicated by a secret no one would have imagined to be true.
