- Summary:
- Told in separate voices, Kat and Robin leave Boston on a church mission to help combat human trafficking in India while Kat recovers from a sexual assault and Robin seeks his birth mother.
- You can't rewind life; sometimes you just have to push play. Katina King is the reigning teen jiu-jitsu champion of Northern California, but she's having trouble fighting off the secrets in her past. Robin Thornton was adopted from an orphanage in India and is reluctant to take on his future. If he can't find his roots, how can he possibly pick a college? Robin and Kat meet in the most unlikely of circumstances - and find themselves signing up for a summer service trip to Kolkata to work with survivors of human trafficking. As bonds build among the travelers, both teens discover that justice and healing are entwined, like the pain in their pasts and their hopes for the future. The only way for Kat or Robin to move forward might just be in service to each other. In turns heart-wrenching, beautiful, and bouyants, Mitalia Perkin's new novel focuses on the rippling effects of violence - across borders and generations - and how small acts of heroism can help break the cycle. -- From dust jacket.
