Eden was always good at being good. Starting high school didn't change who she was. But the night her brother's best friend rapes her, Eden's world capsizes. What was once simple, is now complex. What Eden once loved who she once loved she now hates. What she thought she knew to be true, is now lies - she knows she'll never be the way she used to be.
