Chapter 1 - The Persian Dinner

In the fall of 1997 Toronto, Annie, an Iranian girl meets Nelson. Annie finds herself swept into the kind of relationship she never thought she'd experience. But as the seasons shift, so do the shadows-quiet doubts, subtle shifts in tone, words that bruise more than they soothe.

This is the story of a girl learning how to trust herself, even when the world tells her not to.

A tender, haunting portrait of first love, loneliness, and the quiet strength it takes to walk away.
