Hermione Winters is the captain of the cheerleading team, but for the residents of the small town of Palermo Heights, it doesn't mean what you think. At Palermo Heights, cheerleaders are not fans of sports teams; they themselves are a sports team - the pride and triumph of a small town. This summer at training camp with her team is the last, so to speak, beginning of the end for Hermione Winters... but the end of what exactly, she's not sure. She knows this season could make her a legend. But then, at a party, someone slips some crap into her drink. And everything goes wrong. Each year there is a star cheerleader and a pregnant outcast girl. And it has never happened before that it was the same person. Hermione fights to regain the control she has always had and faces the painful decision of how to live her life. Abuse was not the beginning of Hermione Winters' story, and she would not allow it to be the end. It is not intended to be a cautionary tale for anyone.
