Thirteen-year-old Casey's mother always said that Casey's
sixteen-year-old sister marched to the beat of a different drummer. But
it isn't until Briana runs away with an older boy that Casey begins to
understand what her mother meant. When Briana returns home alone and
pregnant, Casey and her mother try to help Briana come to terms with her
options.
It was already complicated to think about Briana's choices and then
things change suddenly again. When Briana is in a serious accident,
Casey's mother sees things one way. Although Casey understands her
mother's reaction, she feels she must try to convince her mother to make
a different decision. Casey needs to grow up fast and do what she can to
maintain Briana's legacy. Will she be able to make her mother understand
that there is only one way to accept Briana's gift?
