Autumn Fletcher's life is a mess. Her mother is gone, her father locks himself in his room when he's not at work and refuses to speak to anyone, and no one but her grandmother believes she can amount to anything.
When Autumn's family moves to the small town of Bakersfield, she convinces her father and grandmother that it's the perfect time for her to begin attending regular school after being homeschooled all her life. She starts as a freshman at the local high school the day February break ends. Autumn only wants to fit in, make some friends, do well in school, maybe play a sport. There's just one problem.
Autumn is blind.
But with the help of a few loving and supportive teammates and a track and cross country coach dead set on her success, Autumn finally finds a chance to be a part of something. Maybe she can be more than "the blind girl", more than just another burden for her family. Maybe she can fit in somewhere, find a way to do something meaningful.
Maybe she can begin to fit the broken pieces of her life back together.

What they did to Chloe
Chloe - the new girl, once again. Another town, another school, another chance to start over... or atleast try. Thrown into a massive high school of over two thousand students, she quickly realizes this isn't just any ordinary place. The moment she steps onto campus, she can feel the social hierarchy pressing in around her - the cliques that define everyone and everything. The jocks, the cheerleaders, the goths, the nerds - each group perfectly formed, leaving very little room for anyone to find their place. At first, all Chloe wants is to just blend in and not be noticed, to stay invisible long enough to survive the year. But when Brandon, one of the schools golden boys - charming, popular, and admired by everyone- takes an unsettling interest in her, things begin to change. What starts as innocent attention soon turns into something much darker. Rumors begin to spread. Whispers follow her in the halls. One girl with curly brown hair, who seems to have a lot of damage - quiet, watchful - seems to know more than she lets on, and Chloe starts to realize there are secretes buried beneath this schools polished surface that no one talks about... that no one wants to talk about. As the weeks go by, Chloe becomes the target of cruelty, manipulation, and betrayal from those she least expects. She faces the kind of pain and trauma no teenager should ever have to endure - loss, harassment, sexual assault, and the crushing weight of no one believing her.

When their worlds unexpectedly collide - first at physical therapy, then at school - the last thing either of them expects is to find comfort in someone else's mess. They both have scars. They both have stories. And maybe... that's exactly what brings them closer. A story about sports, grief, family, late-night drives, healing, and learning to trust - even when life hurts.Dokončeno

By her mother, the girls she calls friends, the guys in school, teachers, family, even Mark the mailman. Needless to say, she's sick of it. Its time Avery took control of her life or at least get a firm grip on the sucker. She's loved football ever since she was a little girl. Yet she could never play because ladies aren't supposed to do such barbaric things. Especially in the South- unless its a rodeo and you're wearing those ridiculously tight outfits that show you're navel or showing you can hold your liquor. Avery has longed to be on the field, throwing the ball instead of cheering on the team her dad coaches that can't seem to win. Then her best friend Austin forces Avery to and for sometime everyone is fooled. But the truth can only be hidden for so long. The moment the townsfolk of Stonehenge, Alabama learned it was a girl under that helmet, was the moment true colors showed.

She's going to deal with sexual harassment, mean words, rude people, pregnancy, injuries, steroids, etc.. In this story I want to exemplify how sexist and cruel humans can be. There will be hard moments, but I want to put it out there because it IS a serious problem. Harsh language and such will be present. You have been warned, don't read it then complain.
