Walk Beside Me, Be My Friend — Joan Oppenheimer

To Kris, anything seems better than living at home. Her demanding, over-worked mother, her spoiled brothers and sister -- they all depend on Kris, and they never appreciate her.

So one night Kris runs away, but she finds life on the road is no better and Kris decides never to trust anyone or care about anyone again…until she is placed in Chloe Dunham's foster home and there she meets Regan.

Regan is kind, gentle, and understanding. But Kris is almost afraid to love him. Will she risk getting hurt again?
