Chapter 1: First Note

Before he was Mister Demi, the beloved music teacher at the Paper School, he was Jacqueline - a gentle child with love for melodies and a spirit slowly crushed by strict, unaccepting parents. After running away and transitioning, Jacob Demi builds a new life, far from the scars of his past. But when his parents unexpectedly return years later, the notes of the past and present collide in a final chorus of confrontation, forgiveness, and hope.
