As Faith moves from the beautiful willow trees of Iowa to the dark and dirty streets of inner city Milwaukee, she has to deal with more than just a change of scenery. Her heart is still caught in those willows and the only one that seems to care is a sweet little puppy she finds in her backyard. When her mother wants to find the owner, Faith tries to keep her a secret along with her feelings about moving. Suddenly losing her Iowa friends and possibly her puppy is the least of her worries when the neighborhood clique attacks her and her father's church. Faith then has more secrets than she can keep, especially when she's the only one that really knows the truth.
