Ashes of a Star

Ashes of a Star

At just 17, Ashley Norah was everything the world admired-a volleyball prodigy, the anchor of her team, and a shining example of perfection. With her fiery red hair and dazzling smile, she was the girl everyone wanted to be, the girl who never faltered. But behind the glory and applause, Ash carried a darkness that no one could see, a weight she could no longer bear.

Torn between her mother's unrelenting expectations and her own crumbling sense of self, Ash's once-bright light begins to fade. Each victory on the court feels emptier than the last, every moment at home colder than the one before. As the pressure mounts and the loneliness deepens, Ash spirals into an abyss she cannot escape.

Ashes of a Star is a heartrending exploration of mental health, the crushing weight of perfection, and the silent struggles that often go unseen. A story that sheds light on the toll of impossible expectations and the tragedy of a life lost too soon.
