Grief really was a circular staircase.
After losing Jason, her best friend since preschool, Evelyn's world comes to a sudden halt. But, time doesn't stop for her. When she surfaces out of her delirium, a full life still awaits her; a life she didn't want anymore.
Now a fragment of her former self, she trudges on - making it through everyday but not really living. The only respite she finds are in isolation, and deep dreamless nights.
But one stubborn guy refuses to leave her alone, determined to prove that life could be beautiful even beyond your worst winter.

Somewhere Between Then and Now
Arin never meant to fall apart. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just quietly - one bad day at a time. At fourteen, he feels invisible at home, disconnected at school, and trapped inside a mind that won't slow down. His friends want popularity. His parents want perfection. Arin just wants to breathe. After a night where everything cracks, Arin begins the slow climb back - through music, drawing, new friendships, and the quiet moments that rebuild a person when nobody's watching. A story about breaking, healing, growing, and learning to stand again. Not perfectly. Just honestly. A deeply emotional coming-of-age journey for anyone who's ever felt lost between who they were and who they're becoming.
