Summary	1960's. Maisie's first day of high school should be exciting, but all she wants is to escape the world: an abusive mother and a father who is rarely there to help. Finding refuge in her art, Maisie meets Rachel and her mother, a painter. She catches a glimpse of a very different world-- full of life, creativity, and love-- and latches on. But as she discovers her strengths through Rachel's family, Maisie finds herself risking new friendships, and the very future she's searching for. -- adapted from jacket
