Tori had always felt like she was a stranger in her own life. At 18, she was caught between the weight of her past and the uncertainty of her future. Growing up in a home where tension hung thick in the air, her relationship with her parents was far from easy. They never seemed to understand her, and she never seemed to meet their expectations. Her brother, Bryce, had always been the golden child-the straight-A student, the one who could do no wrong. And then there was Tori, the one who couldn't seem to pass a single class. The one who failed, over and over again, to live up to anything resembling potential. Bryce had long since given up on her, his patience worn thin by her constant missteps.
But Leia-her younger sister-was different. Leia adored her, always had, always would. Through every mistake, every failure, Leia was there, her unwavering support the only thing that kept Tori from falling apart completely. When the world felt like it was crumbling around her, it was Leia who held her together.
School had never been Tori's thing. In fact, she'd been kicked out of more schools than she cared to count. Each one a new chapter in a story of rebellion and disregard. And now, at her last chance-the place that had reluctantly accepted her-she was on the verge of being expelled again. The school had made it clear: one more slip-up, and they'd be done with her for good. But Tori wasn't stupid. She knew that if they gave up on her, no other school would take her. And at this point, she didn't care.
And then, just when it seemed like there was no way out, Tori's life took an unexpected turn. She was sent to Thorn Hill Disciplinary School, a place notorious for taking in the most troubled and lost teens. For the first time in years, Tori wondered if this might actually be the place that could change everything. Or would it be just another dead end? Only time would tell.
