"The reflection of what we are."

Have you ever felt that the person you show to the world does not truly reflect who you really are? That due to societal pressure or family expectations, you must play a role that isn't yours? Whether it's the perfect child, the rebel, the innocent who never breaks a dish, or simply someone who meets the expectations of the identity they assume, this can be a mask that separates you from your true self. This book explores the internal struggles of those who live trapped in the roles imposed by others, seeking their own truth in a world that demands conformity.

Aiden Thompson, a 16-year-old boy, is considered the best American football player at his high school, the most handsome, and the epitome of what it means to be a 'perfect man.' However, behind that facade lies a young man who cannot show his true self. Under the pressure of a father who expects him to meet high expectations, Aiden faces loneliness, surrounded by 'friends' but trapped in a role he never chose. Everything changes when he meets Diana Novak, the daughter of the local pastor, who is also trapped in an image that isn't hers. Although everyone sees her as the obedient and pure daughter, Diana conceals her own reflection: a young woman who doesn't fit the image her family and community expect of her. Together, Aiden and Diana will discover that they are not as alone as they thought and that sometimes the greatest struggle is the one we fight within ourselves. As they support each other, they will have to decide whether they dare to be true to their real identities or if they will continue to protect the image that society and their families expect of them.

A moving story set in the 1990s in a small town in Arkansas, where homosexuality is still a subject of discrimination, exploring the challenges of finding personal freedom in a world that demands conformity.
