Shayla is feeling miserable because on her thirteenth birthday, her father's new wife gives birth to Gift, whom Shayla sees as a "replacement" for her. Yet she can't confide her feelings to anyone. She'd like to talk to her best friend. Kambia Elaine, who is now in a loving home and is finally on the road to happiness- but someone is sending Kambia evil messages and packages that threaten her sanity. And Shayla discovers that her new friend, Lemm, in who she is sort of interested, has problems of his own—but they don't compare to the secret that he is still keeping from Shayla.
