| Dyna
Suggs wants to start life all over again. She may just get her chance.
She's starting her senior year in a new high school where no one knows
her. She's living with her grandmother. She really wants to get it right
this time. She's messed up so much in the past. On her first day of school,
she finds she doesn't have enough money to register. Knowing that Gram
doesn't have it either, Dyna agrees to act as a lookout for a burglary.
After that, things go along fine in school and Dyna is doing well. She
makes friends and is involved in a television production. Then it happens.
Her past catches up with her. Will Dyna be able to graduate from high school
and stay out of trouble or will her past doom her to repeat her mistakes? |
