There are worse things than being alone…
High school senior, Sandra Porter, knows loneliness better than anyone. Home life had always been more like survival. Things should have gotten better the day her alcoholic father left, but that didn’t happen. Instead, her abused mother is in a catatonic state, and Sandra is more alone than ever. Until she finds ‘the crew’, a group of misfits who seem to offer an end to the solitude.
Quickly Sandra begins taking risks, cutting classes, smashing windows for excitement and as a sick bonding with the group, to show herself trustworthy. Vandalizing empty houses seems to be the favorite time-waster—until the group leader ups the ante. Robbery. Murder if need be. And she’s as guilty as the rest of the crew. Now Sandra is trapped in a deadly catch-22. Stay silent, saving herself from the threats and intimidation by the crew leader, or go to the police, relieving the remorse eating her alive.
In this coming of age story, Sandra must find the real meaning of courage and learn that self-respect means more than acceptance from others.
