Es gibt Geheimnisse, die zu groß sind für das Herz eines Mädchens Klamotten, Partys, Jungs und Schule: Diese Welt ist Carey und ihrer kleinen Schwester Jenessa völlig fremd. Die Geräusche des Waldes, das beengte und doch so vertraute Zusammenleben im Wohnwagen und die oft tagelange Abwesenheit ihrer Mom – das ist der Alltag der Mädchen, die in einem Trailer tief versteckt inmitten eines Naturschutzgebietes leben.

Dass der Preis dafür mitunter sehr hoch war, begreift sie erst jetzt durch die liebevolle Anteilnahme ihres Vaters. Weil sie das Geheimnis, das auf ihrem Herzen lastet, nicht für immer verdrängen kann …
