At night, she pulls her blanket to herself, takes her pen, and remembers every detail in her life. She had a lot to write about her regrets of the past, her doubts of the present, and her worries for her future. She did not want to think, but she still will, mixing all time lines in her head.
At dawn, she wakes up, takes her pen, and remembers that she must love herself before she can love anyone. She had a lot to write about the boy who wanted her back after he broke her heart. Even so, she won't, for she has decided that from now on, she will choose herself first.
In the morning, she continues to live, takes her pen, and remembers how blessed she is to be loved. She had a lot to write about everything under the sun, including her adventures with the person who loved her dearly. She takes note of all of them, both small and big, until he kisses her and takes her away from the harsh reality.
Three different girls with twenty-five tales to tell, all because the universe taught her to love . . . and to write.

Much against his will, River Allen can't drag his gaze away from the new student, seventeen-year-old Dawn Gray Brooks. It isn't that she lives in a ragged, teal dress, and carries a thick, leather fairytale book around. There is something hidden in her faraway expression... Something he can't figure out-which leads him to follow her to Elsie's Lake. What he finds will change his life forever.
❀
Dawn Gray Brooks knows how to keep secrets. She doesn't tell anyone anything. Not a word about how she can float away from her body and watch the world unfold.
She doesn't tell anyone about her daily talks with Dad either. Why? Because he's dead.
Dawn knows better than to explain about her voices...
Until River comes along, and Dad's words start to disappear. This boy refuses to leave her alone, keeping her in the now, clinging to reality. But for how long?
❀
