In a world that often demands conformity, 16 year old Jordan Grayson feels adrift. As an intersex girl she faces challenge after challenge everyday, she also grapples with the scars of her father's abuse-both physical and emotional. Moving to a new neighbourhood brings not only the chance for a fresh start but also the curious gazes of neighbours who notice her rebellious spirit.
 Jordan Grayson excels in school, her grades a testament to her intelligence, yet her heart beats to the rhythm of defiance and dreams of a life filled with love. She finds solace in music, sports, and the vibrant universes of video games and books, longing for the warmth of a family that embraces her for who she truly is.
 As Jordan Grayson battles her past and seeks acceptance, she must confront not only her father's oppressive influence but also the social expectations that threaten to stifle her authentic self. Will she rise above the surface, reclaiming her identity and finding the connection she craves? 

  "Under the Surface" is a poignant coming-of-age tale about resilience, self-discovery, and the quest for unconditional love in a world that often misunderstands.

Riley wasn't her real name. At least, she didn't think it was. All she had left was her amber necklace. Since her accident, she can't remember anything about her past life. Not even who her parents are or what happened to them. Her foster family doesn't make life any easier. She just needs to work hard, finish this last year of high school, and then get away with a scholarship. She keeps to herself, mostly. Thankfully, the colors that people emanate help her stay away from the really bad ones. But that is a secret she intends to keep to herself. Grayson hasn't given up searching for the love of his life, even though everyone else has. He knows she's still alive, because he feels her. Her fear and her pain. He's determined to find her and bring her home, even when she doesn't remember him or their life together. They are forever bonded.
