Ava Zinfield has ordinary hopes for her senior year at Wilson High School. Romance would be nice for a change. Keeping her good reputation intact is a must. But sometimes, in the middle of the ordinary, life takes unexpected turns. Any new day might be the one to change her life forever. On a family vacation to South Africa to visit grandparents that she barely knows, Ava’s very sense of identity is challenged, and every step she takes leads her further from the life she thought was meant for her. Will she have the courage to follow the unseen path?
