Written in the Sand (English)

"I always thought that the trick to surviving life was having a plan".
"You want to know what the trick to life is, Princess? There isn't one. You learn to take what you get every morning, day by day, and you learn to deal with it, day by day. And the sooner you realize that there is no shortcut, the better off you'll be".

When Mia Ferro set out to start high school she thought that she had it all figured out and planned from the very start... but soon enough life herself proved to her that she couldn't have been more wrong.

In between a new and quirky group of friends and a chance encounter with a mysterious stranger and more than just enough drama to spice things up, Mia will have the chance the rediscover herself from scratch, put herself to the test and realize that the beauty of life doesn't lie in the destination, but in the journey undertaken to get there.
