"All I want to be is myself, a powerful bassist who won't let you step on me and my dreams any more!"
All River's life she has been in the dark, literally. She has stayed in her sister's shadow since the womb itself, completley and utterly afraid to go out of her comfort zone and taste the world around her. The opportunity for change rises to the surface of her pool of aspirations when she is accepted to a prestigious music academy, the Gustav Holst Academy for Exceptional Musicians.
When she accepts the offer, her goal is to go through high school unnoticed, only preparing for the harsh world of musicians which she wishes to be a part of. But her trail to success is bent and seemingly twisted once the strange people around her put her in situations that take her comfort zone to another dimension. With the friends that have odd reasons, the sister who takes, and a boy who should probably think before he speaks, River is sent on this four-year quest to be come who she wants to be.

A Boy Named Jasper {Wattpad Featured Novel}
Jasper is a screwed up kid, yet no one cares enough to find out why. Bruises hide his arms and alcohol stains the walls of his house, but he pushes forward because it's the only thing left for him to do. His days are spent in and out of the school psychologist's office, while his nights are spent in fear of his father. His guitar and the secluded spot by the train tracks where he likes to play are the only saving graces in the hell that is his life. No one disrupted this normal routine until Callie came. Callie is far from screwed up; she doesn't have family issues and doesn't understand the first thing about Jasper's world. Her house is filled with answered prayers and smiles of people who love each other. Her arms are clear and her head is full of optimism that Jasper doesn't buy for a second. She never second guessed her sunny disposition on life until she stumbled upon a boy and his guitar down by the train tracks. Callie and Jasper weren't supposed to cross paths. She wasn't supposed to care and he wasn't supposed to let her get under his skin, but then again opposites weren't supposed to attract either. Callie saw the good in him where most people thought there was none ; she was captivated by Jasper because he made her question everything she knew about the world. She thought it would be easy to show him that there was still good left in the world, that there was more beyond all the bad he'd become accustomed to but sometimes it takes more than one girl's overly optimistic persistence to pull a person out of the hell they've been living in. ~~~~~ -Highest Ranking: #8 in spiritual, 10/25/17 ; #1 in Christianity, 2019 -Wattpad Featured Novel: 10/19/17Complete
