This book is about a teenage girl named Dallas. Dallas' mother died when she was little, therefore, she lives with her father. She is a very independent girl and wants to do things her own way. She is always having confrentations with her father leading her to hang out with the wrong people. Her father seems to really resent the fact that her mother was a fun loving and dare taking person. Her mother was killed when Dallas was five on one of her crazy adventures. Dallas' dad was always telling her, "you're turning out just like your mother."
