In 1993, I immigrated to the US with my parents and older sister. Little did I know that besides the challenges of learning a new language, fitting in as a teenager in school, and adapting to a new culture and life, that I would have to do it on one leg. In this autobiographical novel, I take you through this tumultuous and challenging period in my life. What was the immigration process like in the 1990s? How did I adapt to my new life and a new environment as a disabled teen? How did I overcome depression, find friends, new passions, and my first love?

Life on Jakku was a joke, the people were worse, and most days she couldn't decide if she wanted to punch them or just ignore their existence completely. Her mom said she should try being more patient. But Hera would rather take patience and strangle it to death - at least then she'd have something interesting to do. Then she got what she wanted, the day the Empire came, everything changed. <> <> <> <> *Many parings* ***Disclaimer: Star Wars and all related elements are owned by Lucasfilm Ltd.

Ever since she was a child, Melody has dreamed of following in her famous mother's footsteps and becoming a singer. But there's one problem-her voice. Convinced she doesn't have what it takes, Melody starts to lose faith in her dream. Everything changes when she crosses paths with people from a completely different world than her own. Through new friendships, raw talent, and a fresh take on music, Melody begins to discover that maybe her voice isn't the problem-it's how she's been taught to hear it. A/N: I've been inspired by a Tumblr post from years ago. If there's similarities with other stories, that's may be why.
