Maria has never been the daughter her father wanted her to be.
A struggling student with grades that never seem to measure up, she lives under the shadow of constant pressure and impossible expectations. Behind closed doors, she battles a darkness that her strict family refuses to see - a depression so deep that it drives her toward self-harm, and eventually, thoughts of ending her life.

Everything changes the day she meets a group of free-spirited individuals who introduce her to the world of dance - a language of expression, healing, and freedom. For the first time, Maria feels alive. She begins to rediscover herself through movement, finding a flicker of purpose where there used to be only pain.

But when her father discovers her secret, his disapproval strikes harder than ever. Torn between the fear of defying him and the newfound light she's found in dancing, Maria faces a choice that could determine the rest of her life.

Will she have the courage to fight for her passion and finally live for herself?
Or will she surrender to the silence she's long planned to embrace?

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes? More importantly, what happens when she finds out that she was taught lies from the moment she was born? Follow Amara as she digs deeper into her family history, uncovering the secrets and discovering the lies. ___ ⚠️ Trigger Warning ⚠️ There will be mentions of abuse, r@pe, self harm, death, and many other dark themes.
