SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
On the morning of 9/11, a fourteen-year-old genius's mother disappears. Her beloved father had been murdered years before. She's now without parents. She resolves to get a new mom and dad and have them adopt her, before she is deported to Trinidad. For new mom, she selects her BFF (best friend forever), a New York City detective. For new dad, she selects the handsome spy who is investigating her BFF. The investigation was the girl's fault. She had predicted the terrorist attack to her BFF. Her BFF, in turn, won't give up her source, which makes the spy investigating her consider the detective as the possible predictor. Unbeknownst to the girl, a terrorist is also trying to find out who the predictor was, so he can silence him or her forever. Now, the girl is fighting to stay in the country, trying to make two people who hardly know each other, fall in love, get married and adopt her, while she is playing a most dangerous game of hide and seek with the terrorist to not only protect her life but also the life of her best friend.
The story, as it progresses, delves into how the City of New York responded to 9/11 by establishing an anti-terrorism taskforce, in which the girl's BFF and the spy play important roles.
On the journey, the girl learns that love is earned, sometimes with a heavy price.
