In this coming of age story, fifteen year old Alicia Reynolds learns that people aren't always what they appear to be. ""Kevin would never hurt me. He would never make me do something I didn't want to. I must have wanted it...or made him think I wanted it. She thought to herself as the hot water beat down onto her back. The blood scared her. The pain had scared her. Kevin had scared her. Kevin loved her. She knew he did. The way he held her. The way he talked to her. Kevin cared about her and it angered her the more she questioned that. If one act could turn her against him then he was right. She didn't love him as much as he loved her.""
