(wlw story) Does belonging matter if the cost is yourself ? For 17-year-old Syd, this question is more than an echo in her mind; it is the weight she carries, the silent tether pulling her forward and holding her back. Caught between who she is and who she fears becoming, her story is one of unraveling, of confronting shadows, and of piecing together a fractured sense of self. Rich with emotion, adventure, laughter, and the bittersweet ache of first love, Sydney's story will take you on a journey of self-discovery that lingers long after the final page.
