Uniques world is turned upside down as she tries to figure out how to survive, at age fourteen, while providing food and shelter for a brother whom she has become both Mother and Father to. Unique loses her way and begins to give in to the thoughts of a defeated and irrelevant existence. But during a traumatic turn of events, she is lead on an unforgettable journey that would alter her life forever.
