Twelve-year-old Shay feels like her thoughts never stop talking.
Some cheer her on, others whisper doubts that make her question everything ... her talents, her friendships, even herself.
When Shay meets Miss Lorie, her wise and worldly neighbor, she learns a powerful truth:
Thoughts are just thoughts, they aren't always true.

Through friendship, courage, and the beauty of her own imagination, Shay discovers her Mind Garden ... a place where kind thoughts bloom and fears fade away.
