Living on the edge with nothing but a safety net weaved from lies to keep you from tumbling headlong into disaster and disgrace is as dangerous as it is demanding. For Amanda Newly, it is an inconvenient fact of life, one she must deal with every day.

Amanda Newly is a rather unique college student. Bright and intelligent, she manages to maintain a GPA of 4.0 in a discipline where most of her fellow students are simply happy to survive. At the Irish Pub where she works on the weekends her proficiency and personality yield tips that are all but unrivaled. Socially she is the glue that holds a diverse group of friends together.

To the casual observer, Amanda presents the very image of a young woman who is on the verge of making all her dreams come true. The only thing holding Amanda back from achieving this illusive goal is a past that is totally out of sync with her image as a vibrant young coed, for the girl everyone knows as Amanda started life as Andrew Justine Newly.

In many ways she still is very male, an inconvenient truth Amanda must hide behind a veil of lies from all but a select circle of friends as she struggles to reconcile her past with her future. One aspect of Amanda’s past that threatens to destroy her chances achieving this is not of her own making. Tina Anderson, the daughter of a wealthy entrepreneur and one of Amanda’s dearest friends lives under a constant threat of kidnapping, a danger that Amanda once foiled and as a result, leaves her vulnerable to retribution from those seeking to bring harm to the Andersons.

The journey Amanda Newly makes as she treads her way toward a new beginning is one that is as difficult as it is contentious, for Amanda must step outside the accepted norms used to define who and what we are in order to discover not only what is right for her, but to build a new life for herself.
