Leni's life has been defined by ONE choice any five-year-old child might make: She wanted a BUCKET. Twelve years ago, her little brother drowned when she left his side to get a sand toy, and Leni can't forgive herself. So she makes no choices. She does what she's supposed to do, what she's expected to do. Nothing else. Until she meets mohawked, multi-pierced grad student Clark. And Leni discovers that not choosing is a choice, and she must learn to trust herself if she wants to walk a solid path.
