Ever since her dad left when she was 5, Aurora Blaine hasn’t been the same girl. When bullying becomes a problem, her once caring mother tells her it’s her fault; the only person that notices her is her crush, Mr. Meltzer. With graduation only a year away, this suffering teen does everything in her power to keep her head high, but it’s hard when everyone kicks you while you’re already down. When her mother’s psychotic behavior forces Aurora to leave home, what she finds in the woods where her dad was last seen is beyond her wildest dreams: a world of hope and even a chance at true love. Can this troubled, gifted girl find her purpose in this world? Or will she be too terrified to accept what’s hiding within the shadows?
