After years of neglect, Ruby's mother has abandoned her, and now Ruby has to live with her estranged sister, Cora, whom she hasn't seen in ten years. Cora and her husband offer Ruby a stable home life and a fresh start at a new school. Ruby's independent streak is strong, though, and she attempts to run away the very night she arrives. A friendly (and cute) neighbor boy named Nate covers for her when she's nearly caught, and suddenly Ruby may have a compelling reason to stay.
