The Winslow family lives by five principles:

1. No one can know your real name.

2. Dont stay in one place too long.

3. If you sense anything is wrong, go immediately to the meeting spot.

4. Keeping our family together is everything.

5. We wish we could tell you who we are, but we cant.Pleasedo not ask

Poppy doesnt know why her family has been running her whole life, but she does know that there are dire consequences if theyre ever caught. Still, her curiosity grows each year, as does her desire for real friends and the chance to build on something, instead of leaving behind school projects, teams, and crushes at a moments notice.

When a move to California exposes a crack in her parents airtight planning, Poppy realizes how fragile her world is.

Determined to find out the truth, she mails in a home DNA test.

Just as she starts to settle into her new life and even begins opening up to a boy in her math class, the forgotten test results bring her crashing back to reality.
