At fourteen, Isabella Mae Sauerbrunn has mastered the art of order: color-coded calendars, meticulously timed routines, and a steadfast commitment to her medication keep the twin storms of OCD and ADHD at bay. But when a single missed dose or an unplanned disruption sends her spiraling into rituals she can't escape, even her mother - star defender Becky Sauerbrunn-finds herself racing to restore Bella's fragile peace. As freshman year gives way to sophomore challenges, Bella faces a terrain of new friendships, expectations, and the knot of feelings she's learned to tame. Through whispered breakdowns at midnight, frantic lists scrawled in neon ink, and moments of quiet triumph when the world finally slows, mother and daughter discover that control isn't about erasing chaos, but about finding courage within it. A vivid, heart-wrenching portrait of resilience, this reveals story how love-and a little bit of mess-can become the strongest foundation of all.
