When Yale student Sarah Storm comes out to her parents, they disown her and withdraw all support for her education. A few days later, Sarah's long-term girlfriend breaks up with her and Sarah loses everything that matters--family, future dreams, and love. Forced to leave Yale with only the contents of her dorm room and the boat of a car bequeathed to her by her grandmother, Sarah scrambles to get her life back on track at the University of Rhode Island. Burying her hurt and disappointment, Sarah throws herself into both her classes and social life. Struggling to put her last relationship behind her, Sarah dates, and frequently, but no one she meets is quite as intriguing as Rory, her new--an apparently straight--roommate. When it becomes clear that her attraction to Rory is mutual, however, Sarah begins to fear that history will repeat itself and she'll end up alone.
Will Sarah be able to put aside the betrayals of those she loved and trust again? Or will the consequences of her own coming out experience get in the way of a new chance at happiness?
