Description
Emilie Day's life is one of routine and safety. Homeschooled and reliant on her seizure dog for companionship, she's never had to navigate the challenges of public school. But when her mom enrolls her, everything changes. Paired with Chatham York for a research project on Emily Dickinson, Emilie must confront her fears and insecurities. As she struggles to balance her growing feelings for Chatham with the need to keep her epilepsy private, Emilie faces a daunting reality: her medication may fail at school, leaving her vulnerable. Will she find the courage to seize new possibilities or retreat to the safety of her familiar routine? This poignant coming-of-age story explores themes of vulnerability, friendship, and first love, offering a powerful portrayal of one girl's journey towards self-discovery and growth.
