description: Jordan Nicole Simmons turns twelve the day her life starts to spin out of control. First, her unlooked-for monthly cycle introduces itself; then while she is collecting rocks down at the river’s end she is introduced for the first time to her God-given She sees visions. As if that isn’t enough for a pre-teen to have to deal with. Unfortunately for Jordan Nicole, it isn’t. Her best friend Merc© has just told her that her stepfather, Steven, who is the town’s sheriff, has been having his way with her. She convinces Merc© to tell her mother about her stepfather, or so she thinks. Instead Merc© tells a lie on an innocent man that stirs up a whirlwind of events that lend Jordan Nicole privy to a grownup world that she is in no way prepared for.
