Bookroo's summary

Becca's life is a delicate balance of secrets. Her father's infamous crime haunts her, but as college costs loom, she faces a dilemma: reveal her past or risk her future. A local scholarship seems like salvation, yet the application process unravels hidden truths. Can Becca navigate this web of secrets without losing everything she's rebuilt? As she digs deeper, the stakes rise, forcing her to confront the past she desperately wants to forget. Will the truth set her free or shatter her dreams forever?

From the publisher

Becca has plenty to hide and everything to lose–but with her future on the line, she’s willing to risk it all. This gripping novel from New York Times bestselling author Maragaret Peterson Haddix “will rivet readers” (Publishers Weekly). Becca’s claim to fame is one she’s been hiding from for the past three years: Her father is a notorious embezzler, and when he was caught, his excuse was, “How else is a guy like me supposed to put his kid through college?” Three years after the trial and imprisonment that destroyed Becca’s life, she and her mother have started over again and are living in a town where no one knows their secret. But as college–and its cost–looms large, Becca begins to wonder how they’ll afford it. And how she can apply for financial aid without divulging her secret? A local scholarship opportunity seems like a dream come true, but as the application process commences, Becca uncovers a chain of secrets that could destroy everything she’s worked so hard to build. But the truth could also lead her toward the future she’s always dreamed of…
