EVIE CHASE has it all--fame, fortune, the career of her dreams--but things weren't always that way. Three years ago, before her skyrocket to teenage stardom, she was a small town girl in northern Connecticut who dealt with anxiety, bullies, an unrequited love for her best friend, and, just before moving to Los Angeles, being humiliated in front of everyone she knew.
When a terrifying nervous breakdown leads to the conclusion that her newfound life of fame is getting the best of her, it's a mutual decision amongst her and her parents that she needs a break. But what she doesn't expect is for them to send her back to her hometown, back to her old school, to live with her crazy aunt while donning a new identity.
But things aren't so simple, because there are FOUR things that cannot long be hidden in the town of Anadale--the sun, the moon, the truth about what happened in that courtyard freshman year . . . and a teenage superstar.

*this is a rough draft of the manuscript, please excuse any spelling/grammatical errors, and/or plot inconsistencies*
Book 1 of the On the Run Trilogy!
Being a teenage girl is hard enough, but it's harder for Jackie since she's on the run from the US government.
Jackie Robinson's just trying to keep herself (and her two older brothers and dad) alive. She's trying to find a place to settle down and attempt a normal life. It's been many failed attempts for the past eight years, escaping the government agents after her, barely, each time. Austin, Texas seems like a safe place: big city, lots of crowds, and they'd never been that far south.
Just when Jackie's given up on finding a first love and true friendship, she stumbles across Parker Simmons, the boy who will either be her greatest ally or her entire undoing.
Fun fact: I will be using screenshots from the app, Episode, to make Jackie come to life.
