47 parts Complete MatureA stranger to her own existence, Kayla moves to a small town with the hope of finding comfort in fresh starts. But as she steps inside the unfamiliar classroom on the first day, standing in front of the class is a mysteriously familiar face, one that rouses memories of a time she believed had gone by.
With past baggage catching up in the most intrusive ways, she stumbles upon unexpected pleasures -- comfort of new friendships, rekindling of old ones frayed by time and circumstance, unconditional love of found family, and the blossoming of a beautiful yet complicated bond between two hesitant souls. And when fate starts asking for more, people are forced to dig deep within.
