Aspyn White seems like your typical, happy, 16 year old girl.
Nothing in her life could possibly be better than it already is, right?
Wrong.
Very, very wrong.
There is always a lot more than what meets the eye.
There is always something stirring under the surface.
That's life.
You just have to take it one step at a time.

Valerie Hawthorne thought getting into Le Rosey, one of the world's most prestigious boarding schools, would be the fresh start she desperately needed. With a full gymnastics scholarship and a chance to leave her troubled home life behind, everything seemed perfect on the outside. But hiding pain behind a perfect landing only works for so long.

Then there is Xavier, the mysterious boy who sees through her silence, whose piano becomes a sanctuary when words fall short. And a tight-knit friend group that slowly becomes the family she never had. As Valerie begins to open up, everything starts to fall into place. Until one fateful practice threatens to take it all away. An injury forces her to face the truth. Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is stop pretending you're okay.
