Lilac Flowers Sprinkled with Stardust

Lila (ly-lā)- a girl who finds beauty in nature, especially at night.
Lila doesn't know who she wants to be yet.
She wants to see the world, wants to amount to something more than just a girl with a mouth that words fall from and end up creating pictures on her paper. More than just the girl in the background.
She tries not to stand out though and tries not to draw attention because she has enough stress in her life due to things she'd rather people never knew about. But when a new boy comes along to St. Helena, situated in California wine country, things start to change.

When Angelo moves from his little town in Italy with his parents he expects nothing good to come from St. Helena. But when a blue eyed dark skinned girl runs into him in the little Italian market he becomes wonder struck and can't stop thinking about the panicked look in her eyes when he sees the faded scars and bruises. He makes it his job to figure the girl out and to make this summer something worth while.
