So when her family moves to a new neighborhood, she promises herself this time will be different. A fresh start. A chance to belong. But new beginnings are never as simple as they seem. Between the pressure of fitting in and the unfamiliar faces at her town, Evelyn's world feels like a maze she can't quite navigate.

Because some people come into your life to teach you lessons. And others? They change you forever. Will Evelyn's new life help her grow into who she's meant to be... or will it lead her down a path she never saw coming?
