Every idea, every worry, every generous or petty thought crossing their minds--somehow, they now form a chorus of voices in hers.But why couldn't her newfound powers have arrived sooner? Then, maybe, she could have stopped her ex-best friend Leo from betraying her and ditching her for the more popular kids. At least her dad is open to the idea of moving her off O'ahu and out to Arizona to be with him.If Clara can use what she hears to solve her problems, then her powers might just be able to make up for lost time--but instead, she ends up making a bigger mess of everything. While scrambling to fix her mistakes, Clara must question old friendships, enter into new ones, and try to figure out what makes a home, and if she is willing to leave hers behind.
