Chadwick Dean Holbrook, a prep school boy and "fairweather" friend from Albuquerque and Maverick Britton, a charming misfit, have worked their way into her heart. And to make things worse her best friend, Cascade Rose Jennings, is sweet on them too. Ahzi knows what she needs to do. She has to leave her grief behind.

The map shows Ahzi that falling in love doesn't mean abandoning the memory of her Ama nor her best friend.
