Ms. Vale

Emma Bennett never thought her life would fall apart. Halfway through her sophomore year, Emma is thrust into the chaos of public school after years of homeschooling and a peaceful, sheltered life. She keeps her head down and her heart closed whilst she struggles with depression, self-image, and the pressures of her family.

Then she meets Ms. Vale.

Hannah Vale is everything Emma is not: refined, distant, and unapproachable. She's a strict teacher who doesn't put up with nonsense and doesn't get involved. However, when Emma enters her classroom, something changes. Something silent. Something hazardous.

As Emma wrestles with her identity, her faith, and feelings she was never meant to have, she finds herself drawn to the one person she believes in, even when she knows she shouldn't.
