Toni Murphy is deeply in love with her boyfriend, Ryan. It is a good thing that he loves her because she isn't very popular with the girls at school - those mean girls! Toni's parents were having a hard time dealing with her too - because they keep comparing her to her "perfect" sister Nicole. Nicole isn't exactly what her parents think she is.
One night Nicole begs Toni to let her go out with them - they are headed to a private location but Toni lets her tag along. Nicole never returns because she is murdered. Toni and Ryan are sent to prison for the murder. So part of the book focuses on Toni's high school days and the murder, then there are the years in prison and finally her release from prison when she is in her 30's. One of the saddest part of Toni's story is the bullying - it began in high school and continued on to prison and even after her release. She has a lot to do after her release - try to rebuild a relationship with her parents, find out who killed her sister and try to stay away from Ryan
