For Jessalyn and her mom, moving to the small town of Avondale, California seemed like the perfect decision; they wanted the new scenery but what they really needed was a new start. Jessalyn Hartley had always been shy and one to keep to herself, but now, as she enters her final year of high school at Crestview High, she's more determined than ever to stay hidden in the shadows. However, all of that may change when she crosses paths with the supposed bad boy; Cason Michaels, and figures out that maybe she just had to meet the right person to break her out of her shell.

Dear diary, If I were to die, from my condition tomorrow, I would want my family to remember me as their daughter, not their daughter who passed with a deadly condition. I'm trying to be strong but knowing you only have three more months on earth left, you can't help but crumble inside. I know there's no cure for my disease, so I don't know why the doctors are even trying. I've decided to start this journal so my life isn't forgotten by my parents and others. Yours for now. Alyssa xx
