When Erin Cerise steps off her plane in Christchurch, New Zealand, she�s determined to overcome her losses of swim team captainship, her boyfriend Ben, and her reputation. Her mother is certain studying abroad will regain Erin�s chances of a good future. Once Erin meets her uninspiring host family and city, though, she�s not so sure. Before Christchurch, Erin wasn�t always intense and focused. When had her priorities gone upside down? Now, Erin balks at NZ�s itchy school uniforms, its cold houses, and her hosts� utter inability to pronounce her name correctly. Christchurch does boast amazing rock climbing, gorgeous scenery, and at least one guy who could make her journey worthwhile�if she lets him. With months ahead of her, Erin slowly begins to draw on the years behind her, one step back into her memories at a time. As she rebuilds herself from the other side of the world, she finds that although her life has been turned upside down and she�s far from home, every way she moves takes her closer to where she came from.
