The cover is similar to the original cover I used for the story I started that day but not exactly because I can't find the real one again. Top Ten Finalist for the #LookingForAlaskaContest!

There are moments in all our lives that change and challenge everything we are. A decision to walk away, take a stand, kiss, etc. This is that moment for the girl in our story. From the Author: The story I am sharing with you is partially based on real life events and for the #LookingForAlaskaContest. It also comes with a possible trigger warning of LGBTQ themes.
