Her world shifted in junior high, transforming a good life into a living hell. Ever since, Maya has been plagued by anxiety and an inability to trust. She focuses entirely on evading unwanted attention and the horror it brings. She is left questioning if she can ever truly defend herself, escape the cruel world, and secure her own future.Complete
