Short description
A life is turned completely upside down when young Kaileigh is left an orphan. Through the trials that come with foster care, being a teen, and yes, love, she finds out that life isn't so bad after all.
In this YA novel, Kaileigh, who becomes orphaned during her teen years, bounces around state-funded foster care before she is finally placed with a couple who care about her well-being. Driven to never become anyone's obligation and to stand on her own, the teen aces her high school years and takes on a few night classes in music theory at the local college.
She spends her time being alone and organized: two features of her personality that suit her just fine.
With the learned trade of writing to fund a small but steady cash flow, Kaileigh buys a used Dolphin motor home from the lady down the street and hits the road once the state recognizes her eighteenth year milestone.
Through a series of adventures and mishaps, the young lady finds herself tapping at her laptop in the booth of an Italian restaurant and winds up getting more than a story and a plate of rigatoni when she meets the owner of the restaurant, who introduces Kaileigh to her pop star brother.
Unexpectedly, Kaileigh .. (Read more)

Mentally strong Kaileigh loses her parents in an automobile accident. She goes through a host of fosterparents before finding the rigth ones. She buys an old mobile van and goes to California, where she becomes a frind with the local diner owner Meg in a small city, not knowing that Meg is the sister of rockstar Danny. Love is in the air, and everything ends well. Looking forward to read the next installment. A very positive book!
