Ivy has a secret no one else knows—she can see the truth in the glowing lines above people’s heads. Red means kindness. Black means danger. When two families come to adopt her, everyone expects her to choose wealth, comfort, and an easy life. Instead, Ivy walks away from the rich couple and chooses a struggling family with a wheelchair-bound older brother and a mother who warns her that life with them will be hard.
What begins as a strange choice soon becomes the best decision of her life. As Ivy learns to trust her new family, her gift pulls her into secrets, betrayal, kidnapping, buried guilt, and a mysterious girl who seems to remember another lifetime. But no matter how dark the truth becomes, Ivy discovers something even more powerful than her ability—the family that chose to love her for real.
