Ch. 1 - The Encounter

It always rained in Northpass, but that's not what bothered her.

---

Jessica's been isolating herself ever since the death of her mother. With an alcoholic father and no social life, things aren't looking so good for her future in high school.

Then, there's Winston, a sweetheart from the other side of town. He shows up and flips her whole world around, and finally, she knows what it's like to truly live.

However, this is all put at stake when her father pulls the rug out from under her, and now she could lose this beautiful new life before it's even begun. What is this introverted bookworm to do in the face of her own personal catastrophe?
