No matter the school or the decade, high school is about the struggle of finding yourself. After 12 days at a new school, the events that will change the life of Susannah Greenwood begin to take shape. Moved to a coed Quaker boarding school her sophomore year, Greenwood attempts to fit in but finds herself caught between trying to follow the Quaker ideals of challenging the system and standing up for those less fortunate while she battles an administration that flouts those same ideals.
