Caitlin is paralyzed by the suicide of her best friend, Ingrid. The two girls shared a passion for taking pictures, and Caitlin is sharply reminded of this when she goes back to high school for her junior year and sees Ingrid's work displayed in her advanced photography class. Furthermore, Ms. Delani, the photography teacher, seems unhappy to have Caitlin back in her class again.
One weekend, while searching for her stereo remote, Caitlin discovers Ingrid's last journal shoved under her bed. Over the course of the school year, she reads it, entry by entry, and gains some understanding of the pain Ingrid was experiencing before she killed herself. In the meantime, Caitlin finds herself spending time with Dylan, the "new girl" in school, and popular boy Taylor takes an interest in her as well.
Slowly, Caitlin emerges from her shell and rediscovers her artistic drive and talent for building things. While the pain of losing Ingrid still hurts, she's learned to transform it into actions that also help those around her recover as well.
This is a quick, honest story from a first-time author. Let's hope we see more from her soon.
