Sixteen-year-old Tate is questioning … everything. Her whole world is different now her dad has retired from the military. Together, they are settling in a civilian town, and Tate's going to her first civilian school. Tate finds that everyone's friendships and identities are already established in this town, and she feels for the first time in her life she finally has the chance to put down some roots. When she falls for Zoey, a brooding musician with a mysterious past, Tate is sure it's just a girl crush. But when Zoey starts giving her violin lessons, Tate learns about more than just music. In this new place, Tate must decide if she wants to fall in line, or finally break ranks by following her heart.
