Careen Ann Lopez has always known who she is, finding strength and acceptance in her loving family. But her world shifts the moment she meets Nadia Lei Ramirez in college. What starts as a prickly rivalry between two very different young women soon blossoms into an undeniable friendship, then something far deeper. As Nadia, who always believed she was straight, finds herself falling into an intense, confusing love with Careen, their bond challenges everything she thought she knew about herself.
Their forbidden "Sapphic Love" becomes a beacon in Careen's world, but it's a light Nadia's conservative, religious parents refuse to acknowledge. Threatened with disownment and despair, Nadia makes a heartbreaking choice, leaving Careen shattered and adrift. Four years later, Careen is involved in a tragic accident that leaves her blind. This devastating event, however, sparks an extraordinary, unforeseen connection, forcing Careen to confront the true meaning of sacrifice, enduring love, and how past choices can forever illuminate the path ahead.
