But nothing was ordinary about the day she met ten-year-old Nick Anderson, a boy from the wrong side of town.

Through childhood disasters and teenage woes they cling together as friendship turns to love. The future looks rosy until the fateful night when Frank Anderson, Nick's abusive father, is shot to death in his filthy trailer. Suddenly, Nick is gone, leaving Alix alone, confused and pregnant.
