The Paths of Our Invisible Strings follows the emotional journey of a conflicted teenage girl. Leaving her boyfriend behind, Madelyn moves with her family from Arizona to begin a new life in Connecticut where she discovers new friendships, experiences, and even falling for someone.
As a tennis star, Madelyn struggles to balance her relationships-battling a friend for an athletic college scholarship and a secret attraction to an unlikely crush-along with the strained connection with her ex-boyfriend.
Madelyn is unclear where to go to college with or without a tennis scholarship. At a crossroad, her decision may take her far away, but will the strings she is attached to keep her gone for long?
Madelyn is determined to get what she wants and to risk it all. She wants reassurance, love, and affection. Fascinated with the idea of love, Alex Buzby's protagonist finds herself in situations that hurt others in the process and strains holding onto those strings she knots a little too tight.
