Life isn't getting any easier for Rain Arnold. The ghettos of Washington D.C. are a daily reminder that she must struggle to hold on to her dreams. Unlike her tearaway sister, she has battled against the odds to do well at school and to be a good daughter. But Rain can't suppress the feeling that she has never really belonged, that she is a stranger in her own world. Her instincts are confirmed when she overhears a revelation from the past. A long-buried secret is about to change her life beyond recognition. Suddenly everything Rain has ever known is left behind, and Rain is sent to live with the wealthy Hudson family. Just as she never felt a part of the troubled world she was raised in, Rain is also out of place in the luxury and privilege that now surround her. Will Rain ever be able to fulfil her hopes and ambitions -and find a place to call home?
