A love story about healing after loss, independence, first-time love, and what it's like living with autism and ADD as a young girl. Aurora Evans-mostly known as Rory-suffers a tragic loss at the age of sixteen, leaving her completely alone, with only distant family offering limited support.

She has only two close friends... though soon, there might only be one left. One day after school, while working her favorite job at the bookstore, she meets Ryder Cameron, the 17-year-old captain of the soccer team.

Later, during a university tour, Rory literally bumps into a 19-year-old student named Marcus Hayes-or maybe he bumped into her. It all happened so fast. In the chaos, she spills a drink on his crisp white button-up shirt and profusely apologizes. With her heart wide open and her world shifting, Rory is pulled in unexpected directions. Does she make a choice that could change everything? Or will life decide for her?
