Tsib Stories

Valerie Carter hasn't left the safety of her walls in eight years. Living with a rare skin condition has taught her one thing: being invisible is easier than being judged. So she spends her days hidden away from the world, convinced that some people simply aren't meant to be seen. Then Allyson Hayes moves in next door. Bright, stubborn, and impossible to ignore, Allyson refuses to let Valerie push her away. What starts as an unwanted friendship slowly becomes something that changes both of their lives forever. As summer unfolds, friendships are tested, first loves bloom, old wounds resurface, and secrets long buried threaten to come to light. But sometimes the people who change your life the most are the ones you never wanted to meet. A summer of healing. A summer of friendship. A summer of first love. A summer that would change everything. The Summer It All Began.
