13 parts Ongoing Emily's life was built on broken promises and muffled silence-the kind of silence that happens when a family cracks under the weight of a father's betrayal. At nineteen, she knew one thing for certain: she couldn't depend on anyone else to save her mother and little sister, Emma. She had to save herself first.
Leaving the cramped comfort of home wasn't a choice; it was a desperate strategy. Across an ocean and under a foreign sky, she sought independence, a good education, and the power to protect the two people she loved most. But trading familiarity for a new kind of isolation came with a bitter cost. Loneliness became her roommate, and the pain of a past heartbreak convinced her that trust was a currency she could no longer afford to spend.
Then, everything shifts.
In the dazzling, confusing labyrinth of a brand-new city, Emily meets a stranger who offers a hand when she expects a challenge. He sees not the guarded, hurting girl she pretends to be, but the fiercely determined woman she's becoming. As he helps her navigate a demanding new world, the thin walls Emily built around her heart begin to crumble.
Bittersweet Skies is the story of a girl who flew halfway across the world to escape ruin, only to discover that the truest strength lies not in struggling alone, but in learning to trust a love that finally feels like coming home.
