Ever wonder what it would be like if you had the chance to start over? To restart your life from the moment you opened your eyes? That's exactly what I got. After a horrible car accident, I woke up in the hospital with no memory of my past, surrounded by strangers - or rather, my parents. Moments in time, memories made, all gone...as if they never existed. Time passed, and my body healed while my mind remained locked, leaving me with a blank slate. Life around me returned to normal, and I was simply expected to climb aboard. Except, I was barely hanging on.

There, I could start over, be myself, away from watchful eyes and sympathetic looks. However, I never expected to meet Jack. Falling for him wasn't part of the plan. Also not part of the plan: having to choose where I belonged once my memories came flooding back. They say home is where the heart is...but which part of my heart is right?
