Pebbles Hopke may not have seen everything there is to see in life, but she's seen enough to know what it feels like to fail; to run from yourself; and to avoid confronting the dark parts of your mind that whisper lies.
At the beginning of the book, the author directly asks the reader: What is it that you aim for? What is it that you truly desire? Despite the doubt from others and seeds of self-hate that take root in our minds, the growth that we seek is not as far away as we think. To grow means to be willing to change - a will that is already inside of you, waiting to bloom into something spectacular.
