Piper Antherton is the girl you see out on the street staring at something and smiling, but when you look in that direction, you see nothing. She's the one with the smile on her face even if things are rough. She's the one with a sad look in her eyes, and there may have been light in them long ago, but that radiant shine of theirs is gone.
Once upon a time, long ago, she might have led a normal life, with a normal family with normal friends. She might have had a boyfriend who loved her and said he would always be by her side. She might have had a best friend who she shared secrets with and would always help her back on her feet.
But when things get rough, it's hard to keep hope, and it's easy to give up. And when you give up hope you begin to fall.
Follow Piper as she finds her happily ever after, and discovers that not everything is hopeless and everything is different on the field, than on the sidelines.
