Caitlin, in the beginning of Stacy Ataree's Gwen, is starting yet another new high school and living with yet another new foster family.
She's a social outcast without friends or love, but her life changes when she rescues and hides an injured pit bull puppy she names Gwen, who's just escaped from a near-lethal dog fight.
The two form a special bond and their pairing sets off a chain of events that gives Caitlin a chance of having a real family, as well as the opportunity to win the affection of Mitch, the school heartthrob.
That is, until Gwen's original owner intercedes, a ruthless drug dealer who'll stop at nothing to get his dog back, even if it means using Mitch.
And this time it just might be Caitlin who needs rescuing.
