By her 16th birthday, Kimberly looks more like her grandmother than her peers. A teenager with a rare disease that causes her to age several times faster than normal, she's facing the end of her life as most girls her age are celebrating the beginnings of adulthood. When Kimberly and her family flee their hometown under dubious circumstances, she finds herself re-evaluating her life while contending with her own mortality, a hypochondriac mother, a rarely sober father, a con artist aunt, and perhaps most terrifying of all-the possibility of first love.
