Seventeen-year-old Mara has spent her life hiding-from an abusive family, from her own fears, and from the eating disorder that no one knows she struggles with. When her protective older brother Evan discovers the truth, he joins forces with Troy, the school's golden boy and Mara's love interest, to help her fight back and reclaim her life. As Mara battles her inner demons, navigates romance, and learns to trust again, she discovers that healing is not linear, love is not perfect, and courage comes in small, powerful steps. A story of resilience, family, and finding light after darkness.
