• Can you trick your parents into caring about you? Marilyn is used to living in the shadows. Her mother is acclaimed actress Amanda Briggs. Her father is action-star Stan Alderman. She has a handful of stepparents and a blend of siblings, but no one seems to want her around. Would anyone even notice if she disappeared? Desperate for attention, 13-year-old Marilyn embarks on a quest to find a place in her family. A fateful encounter with a scarred young truck driver turns her journey upside down, and she finds herself mired in a small town with a big soul. While there, she learns many people have problems bigger than her own, but there is always hope for healing and a new start. As she learns about real love, Marilyn must chose between completing her plans for revenge or taking a risk for the loving family she deserves.
