At sixteen, Novana has learned to hide her pain. Behind closed doors, her body betrays her in ways no one else can see—shaking fits, vanished voices, unexplained bursts of heat, and whispers that only she hears. She’s mastered the art of pretending, smiling through the fear, hiding the struggles that make her feel invisible. But one day, everything changes. A sudden collapse at school exposes her secret, leaving her dizzy, disoriented, and surrounded by staring eyes. The world she’s carefully kept at bay feels too loud, too bright, too real. Now, Novana must navigate the terrifying challenge of facing her health battles while trying to maintain the mask she’s worn for so long. In a journey filled with fear, strength, and quiet resilience, she discovers that the most powerful fight is the one she wages within herself. Will she find the courage to let someone in? Or will she continue to bear her pain alone?
