"What is beautiful anyways? Is it the color of someone's skin or eyes? Their height? The way they dress? What is it?" I asked, not really expecting an answer. "I think beautiful is someone who looks past the exterior and gives people a chance. Someone who tries to understand another. An unselfish being. Someone who doesn't see with their eyes but their heart," he replied playing with the bracelet around his wrist, "That truly is a beautiful thing." Celeste has been called beautiful all of her life. She is convinced that guys only want to go out with her because that's all they say they like about her. She's beautiful. To graduate Celeste needs thirty-five hours of community service. She decides to answer an ad in the paper for a temporary aide for a blind teenager, Seamoore. With their new found accidental friendship, Seamoore opens Celeste's eyes that seeing isn't just with your eyes. © Somethingtrue 2013. All rights reserved.

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.

No one ever plans on their life to go wrong. No one ever sits up at night wondering what they would do if they had their best friend cruelly ripped out of their life, much less their brother. But when Courtney is forced back into the seams of high school without Jacob she gets no other choice but to walk on. She settles back into a daily routine, avoiding any activities that could place her normally in society or being back haunting memories. Her life is dramatically altered when one direction decides to spend their teenage years at the high school she can't escape. Courtney not only has to deal with all the new drama but the bullying prevention campaign they bring with them. When given a choice to change her life though, she's extremely wary and unsure to break the ties with everything she thought she wanted since her brothers death.
