Publisher's Synopsis
This is the story of an 18-year-old girl who believed she had her future all figured out - plans set, dreams drawn, and hopes held tightly. But before she could even step away to chase those dreams, life at home unfolded its own story. This is her journey inside a household where toxicity slowly built its walls, where silent battles were fought behind every closed door, and where Kaelen learned to handle her struggles in her own way - or escape them entirely. Behind every smile hides a silent battle. Behind every achievement, a shadow of doubt. As she faces new friendships, complicated family ties, unexpected love, and the haunting struggle of self-worth, Kaelen discovers that sometimes growing up means breaking apart before learning how to heal. She thought she had it all figured out - until, in one snap, everything she dreamed of slipped away. This is her first story - a beginning before her college journey. I hope you join me in reading the next part of her story in "Things I Almost Figured Out."
