Asa dreams of a real home. Evie will do anything to escape hers. Asa's used to leaving everything behind. At the first sign of trouble, her flighty mother uproots them both and takes them to a new town to start again. It's a pattern so often repeated, Asa has stopped trying to settle down and fit in. This time, Asa's new home is the tiny midwest town of Briar. There, she moves in with her family, sharing close quarters with her cousin, Evie. Deep down, she knows this time won't be different. Despite this, she can't help but befriend the smart and sweet Neery and feel the beginning of something like belonging. Can she find a way to let others get close to her, or has her mother already taught her that trust is impossible? Evie is not the girl she was a few months ago. Determined to escape her small-town roots, she withdraws from her friends and breaks up with her long-time boyfriend. When the older and worldlier Riley shows up in her life, everyone around her may have doubts, but she's fallen hard and fast. Evie has decided her path and isn't letting anything get in her way, but is it the right one?
