No one lives the way Toby and his mother live.

No One.

As soon as they start to get settled in a new town, his mother always insists they pack up and move on. She changes her name, her hairstyle, and her identity. Does his mother work for the CIA? Was Toby kidnapped? Does he have a father who is alive somewhere? Over the years, Toby has learned not to ask these questions.

But when they move to rural Idaho, things seem different. Until the day Toby discovers an old news item that shatters any chance he and his mother have of living a normal life. Will they ever be able to leave the past behind?

About the Author:

Mary Elizabeth Ryan is the author of My Sister Is Driving Me Crazy, Me, My Sister, and I; and The Trouble with Perfect. Born in Manchester, New Hampshire, she now lives in Seattle. She writes:

"When I was a child, our family used to drive from Arizona to New England every summer. My father hated to stop, even at a motel, and so I used some of that travel experience when I was picturing Toby's adventures in Alias -- if it's Tuesday, this must be the Mississippi!

"Since the publication of Alias, I've had some interesting experiences. Most recently, I was a contestant on Jeopardy. I managed to come back as a returning champion, winning a good bit of money and a trip to Hawaii. (Not recommended for the faint-hearted!)"
