"What do you mean, 'He's my father?'" At seventeen, Frankie Montgomery's senior year of high school should be filled with friends, fun, and her first boyfriend. But her senior year turned out to be anything but fun. Frankie learns a shocking truth. Her father is alive. Not only is he alive, but he shows up in her hometown as her English Lit teacher. To make matters worse, he has no idea she is his daughter. Unforgiveness for her mother's secret burns in Frankie's heart. Frankie is filled with questions. Is her teacher truly her father, or is that another lie her mother conjured to catch a man? How could he not know he had a child? Why is he in Holly Springs? Frankie is determined to find the truth and to never forgive her mother.
