Her dreams flew among the birds. Then, they were shot down to the ground.
Aleia had the perfect life-good grades, many friends, and a loving family. So why wasn't she happy?
Aleia is a teenage girl who found herself exposed to societal expectations and stigma pretty early in her life. She built a wall around her heart to stop herself from showing 'sadness' in public as she was taught it's wrong to do so. She was on a pedestal because she was known to be the perfect friend who showed nothing but happiness. Aleia meets Aiden, someone who likes her for who she truly is. However, is it for the better or for worse?
The book delves into the crumbling façade of perfection triggered by a loss of identity, impure relationships, mental health, the pressure of social standards, and the struggle for recovery.
