I've never left my hometown of General, Indiana and I never planned to. I love the way the colors change for autumn, the way the snow falls so gently, covering everything in a glistening white blanket and the summers here are always hot, sometimes in more ways than one.
I have an amazing family. My mother, Valerie, is the town's veterinarian and my father, James, is one of the best dentists in the area. My twin brother, Nixon, is studying to be a teacher.
My best friend, Tinley and I work at a salon in General called Shocking Locks. We also work with Nixon's girlfriend, Harlyn and another girl we went to school with named Presley. Tinley and I live together in a cute little house a few miles from the salon.
We were extremely excited for this summer though because a group a boys, some we went to school with and some older than us, started a band called Atlas the Titan.
We just didn't expect the mayhem that was awaiting us..
Despite years of abuse by a close family member, Maya is starting to learn the meaning of trust and love with the help of her new family. She's made friends, loves her adopted brothers, and is even growing closer to a boy at school despite the alarms ringing in her head. But as Maya knows, just when things start to feel right is usually when they begin to go wrong.
When she finds out that someone is following her and wants to see her fairytale ending go up in flames, will she rely on those around her or handle it herself as she has had to do her whole life?
Maya struggles to navigate high school, older brothers, and PTSD/anxiety that tell her she doesn't deserve happiness. She knows now that she is not just a victim, but with the world and people from her past seemingly out to get her, who will she become?
