When The Roses Bloom

Four lives, one story.

Jokester and popular class clown Alex Colfer can't wait to start his senior year, determined to end his high school career with a bang. But when he is diagnosed with leukemia, his whole world gets flipped upside down.

Rose Avery thought she had finally accepted it. Her dad was gone for good, his name wiped off the face of the Earth. When he shows up at her house again, after seven years, new problems surface, and she is pulled into a world of chaos.

Nobody knew that Zach Ryan was gay. If they did, he would be bullied even more than he already was. He thought his secret was safe, until suddenly it's plastered all over the school, causing him to fall into an even greater pit of depression and anxiety.

Then there's Daniel Roth. His junior year of high school was going to be long and lonely, but he was ready for it. After the death of both of his parents in an earthquake, he's reluctant to let anybody else into his life, for the fear that his PTSD might take over or that he might lose them too.

Four lives, one school, one guidance office, where friendships may be made and broken, but a bond of struggle and love is also created. One that will last a lifetime.
