THE BELL JAR SERIES 1
She's afraid to fail---so she never names her fears, never crosses waters she can't see through.
Raylene Emmerson "Emily" Barrameda has always played it safe. She always strive for the best but not fond of the idea of taking risks. Kahit pa sa academics. Kahit pa sa pangarap niyang maging isang magiting na nurse. That is, until her professor forces her into contrivance she never asked for---one that involves none other than the College of Nursing's elusive top alumnus, Jose Alfredo Salazar.
Thrown into his orbit, Emily finds herself unraveling. He taught her to cultivate a broader perspective. He challenges her limits, opens her eyes to a hunger for learning she never knew she had, and slowly, the walls she built begin to crush.
Because maybe, just maybe... crossing the waters she never dared name might lead her to the version of herself she never expected to become.
