The Paradox of Us

For Evan Kieth, 17, moving in with the Travis family seemed that it was going to be nothing out of the ordinary for him. He had been weaving throughout the foster system for years after a life-altering accident left him in a wheelchair and without a stable home. What he wasn't expecting, however, was his introverted personality and rough exterior to be broken by the perky teenage girl next door.

Sophie Portman, 16, had lived in coastal South Carolina her whole life. She's your typical lively, captivating, and caring spirit that inspires. The summer after her junior year of high school seems like it is going to be her best yet. A week into summer break, her plans change when a new foster boy moves in with the family next door.

Sophie and Evan are thrown out of their comfort zones when they come together. To anyone, the collision of these opposite souls might seem groundless. But with some bold moves and self-growth, they find that their bond might not be catastrophic. Maybe, just maybe, it could result in something that exceeds either of their expectations.

Life is full of paradoxes, and this is the story of theirs.
