When sixteen-year old Maggie McDuff pedals away from her dad's, adrenaline and fear assure her she can make it the 180-mile trek to her mom's trailer on her ten-speed. Terrified her dad will find her before she reaches safety, or worse that her mom will send her back to Charleston from Pleasant Springs, what she dreads most is facing the kids who once nick-named her Maggot. But Maggie's not the dumpy girl she was in middle school, and her newfound good looks are turning heads. Desperate for attention, she's out to find love at any cost. Only one thing troubles Maggie: What is wrong with her that keeps her always searching and never finding?
