The Curve I Didn't See Coming

Robin Buckley's life is on track.
Good grades, solid soccer season, and a mom who's working hard but managing to keep things steady. Sure, things aren't perfect, but for once, it feels like she's got a handle on it all.

Then, everything changes in an instant.

Her father's sudden accident in an eighteen-wheeler crash shatters the fragile balance they've built. Hospital visits, mounting bills, and a mother stretched thin across two jobs make everything harder-especially school and soccer.

When Robin's grades start slipping and the threat of being benched looms, her mom insists on a tutor-a quiet, patient girl who becomes more than just someone to help with homework.

As life spins out of control, Robin must navigate grief, pressure, and unexpected feelings that might just be the lifeline she needs.

Sometimes, the hardest lessons don't come from textbooks.
