Fifteen-year-old AJ now lives with her grandmother in Yellowknife, left behind when her mom returned to university. AJ and her mom have bumped from place to place, fleeing a past her mom won't discuss. AJ hasn't seen her father since she was little, and neither her mother nor grandmother will tell her anything about him. AJ's angry, abandoned, and having trouble adjusting to yet another new school, another town, and life without her mom.
