Anywhere but home-in a dead suburb and with a mother who won't get off the couch. Mim knows what she wants, and where she wants to go. Rule number one: I will not turn out like my mother. In the end, the same things look entirely different. Over the nine days before her seventeenth birthday, Mim's life turns upside down.
