For most of us, growing up can be a time full of memories good and bad. We usually look back and reflect on the experiences we had. Although some thoughts bring back memories of happy days of a healthy childhood, while others haunt us with deep scars caused by the horrors and difficulties we were forced to endure in our younger years. Days that we wish never happened or we just want to forget. We see the struggles of a young teen who has to deal with bullies, loneliness, heartaches and dilemmas endlessly facing this vulnerably delicate girl. As she puts on a brave face, we see how she copes and survives. With no one to turn to or trust, she manages to make a stand and prove that she is not weak. As you read these pages, you will easily relate to our young protagonist and cheer her on as her fate takes an unexpected twist.
