Helping Her See

Amelie Richelieu is a high school student with a knack for punctuality and planning. She is just starting to settle into her life in Canada when she faces a new challenge: applying for university.

At the advice of her teachers and parents, Amelie fills her schedule with the 'right' classes and extracurricular activities, including a prominent role in the school musical. But when she starts to spend time with new student, Daniel Chen, she finds it stretches her schedule beyond its limits.

In order to keep the most precious parts of her life from falling apart, Amelie will have to let go of her need for perfection and learn to focus her energy on what really matters. The only problem is, she really, really wants to be perfect.
