(WILL UPDATE WHEN I CAN)
Kim Thomas has an eye for capturing the emotions that are unknown even to the beholder. Nothing brings her joy than capturing raw emotions, and powerful stories.
Her images are windows to the world. All she knows is her sheltered life in Old Town. But her avid curiosity pushes her to explore past the comfort she knows.
In preparation for college, she wants to take matters in her own hands, even if it means leaping in the unfamiliar. Leaving a place she's known all her life, but it might not be as easy as she thought.
Then she meets Jacqueline Holliday; fresh-face from New York City. No one has more experience with the unfamiliar than her. A girl whose rocky experience with life puts her on the other side from Kim. With so much pain, she's forced her to keep herself under lock and key. She's unlike anybody Kim's ever met in Old Town.
No grand meeting. Just two people, finding themselves at the right place. A story where one girl learns to welcome the fear of her future, and the other learns to let go of something she thought was worth holding on to.
