Six months ago, something happened that changed everything for Hattie. The next morning, she came up with The Plan. It was time for a whole new life. That's how Hattie ends up in a little cabin in the middle of nowhere, where the woodland stretches for miles and stars light up the night sky. Here, Hattie can be whoever she wants to be. At two years old, Hattie was diagnosed with a condition that would alter the course of her life.
Ever since then she's had to constantly explain herself and pretend that the pitying looks don't bother her. If she wants The Plan to work, nobody back home can know why she really left, and nobody in her new life can know the truth about her. But it's not long before she's caught in her lies - trapped between who she really is, and who she so desperately wants to be. When everything falls apart, can she piece herself back together?If you've ever felt a little lost, wanted to hide, or struggled to accept yourself, you will see yourself in the pages of this book.
