Heart of Stone

Andrea Wilt was born into privilege, wealth, beauty, and the illusion of a perfect family. But beneath the polished surface, she was always the outlier. Cold. Difficult. Unlovable. At least, that's what they made her believe. Raised in silence and sidelines, she learned early on that emotional detachment was not just survival, it was expected. Now nineteen and on her own in New York, Andrea finds herself at Juilliard, surrounded by bright voices and open hearts she doesn't know how to reach. She's never been good at friendship. Or love. Or letting anyone in. But when a persistent roommate, an overly friendly boy, and an alluring, blue-eyed stranger begin to chip away at her carefully built walls, Andrea is forced to confront what it really means to connect with others, and maybe, with herself. Can someone with a heart of stone learn how to feel? Or will the world, once again, slip through her fingers?
