So if being good won’t get her anywhere, she may as well be bad. Seta’s high school years bring a series of bad decisions, alcohol, sex, and a host of other things she uses to escape the pain she feels. Not even a praying grandmother can keep her from the path she is so set on taking. Seta’s quest for acceptance leads her to one secret so terrible, she hopes no one ever finds out. Will her quest cause her to lose everything?
