This is a story about two girls marked be tragedy but brought together by fate and bonded with friendship. We follow the girls as their friendship blooms and they help each other out as they move on in life and heal, in spite of being total opposites in nature.
When tragedy strikes, the line between love and friendship blurs, the battle between guilt and conscience begins, then comes the time to choose between ‘what feels wrong’ and ‘what is right.’ A heart-warming story about love, friendship, and acceptance.

Someone said that there are two things people never have to chase: true love and true friends. Everyone likes to believe things like that but, unfortunately, reality is never that simple. So if the lines between them blurred for you and you had to choose between the two, what would you choose?

Her mother, a vain and drunk woman, kept her deprived from the affection and love all children deserve. That made Odessa tough, hard, and insensitive. She knew she could survive without anyone. She hung out with the guys and smoked after school, her little rebellion. She was already a grade behind in school, but neither she nor her…
