Prologue

Hope is a town where things never change and Ashely Riley is a open lesbian that defies the norm. When she's shoved out of the closet in high school, her life becomes pure hell. She soon lands herself in the hospital from one of the worst beatings she's ever had, when she meets someone who will change her life forever. Just when Ashley is about to lose hope, this stranger who she assumed hated her all her life, hands her something so precious it changes everything. A bundle of letters, from every closeted Gay person in the town that had always scorned her. She had always assumed she was the only one, but that's never the case is it? After she reads the letters, and realizes that people she knew her whole life, suffered in silence by the box they put themselves in. It gives her the courage to leave town and become a stronger version of herself. She's gone for a year, and when she comes back, she brings friends and together they start a revolution that breaks the chains the locals have placed around themselves.
