Her brother's been shipped off to Okinawa, she broke up with Luke, and she's dating a college guy, Drew. He's unlike anyone Meg's ever known.

But when Meg gets involved in a rally that Drew's planning on campus, she never expects it to hurt people she cares about. And she certainly doesn't expect to start feeling like Drew's more interested in his cause than in her. But he is right about one thing: Meg has to form her own opinions and start thinking for herself if she's really going to grow up and be taken seriously.
