As a child Elaine has always been taught to feel sympathy towards others. Being the only child of a highly respected social worker, Elaine always followed her mother everywhere. Watching her work with children to make their lives better. Now 16 years old, Elaine has seen more grief, anguish and pain in her 16 years of living than anyone. She is constantly looking for the good side in people and trying to fix and make everyone's lives better. 16 year old Devon has lived his entire life dealing with sorrow and pain. A result of a mistake and enduring 15 years of abuse because of it, he's learned to lock up his heart, waiting for the day he turns eighteen and would leave the home he'd been placed in. A meeting with Elaine who is so unlike the negative people he'd known during his lifetime leaves his heart slowly thawing. And as he's about to find out, sometimes the remedy to a frozen heart is Christmas, children, and a certain girl who finds a way to see the goodness he's long forgotten he had in himself.

Fifteen-year-old Angel has always felt a little too much-too sensitive, too quiet, too different. But when she's diagnosed with autism and ADHD at the start of Year 10, everything begins to make a little more sense. With her sketchbook always close, she starts to untangle what it means to understand herself on her own terms. And then there's Skyler-her "just a friend" who feels like a safe place, who sees her in ways no one else ever has. She says she's just drawing to cope, but somehow, he keeps showing up on the page-his laugh, his eyes, the way he never lets her fall apart alone. In a world that doesn't always slow down, Angel is learning how to love herself, and maybe-slowly, bravely-someone else too.
