The One Who Was Taught to Survive

River Atkins is a seventeen year old runaway who ends up in Huntington Beach. She chose HB because she researched the farthest she could go from New York that was deemed safe. She decides to finish her education so she can grow up to be someone who can inspire others in trouble. She changes her name to River Rhoades and tries to stay under the radar. Will she be able to stay hidden forever or will she be forced back to the streets of New York City?
