A LIFE UNSCRIPTEDWhat happens when life refuses to go according to plan?For Willow Wilson, a fresh start is all she wants.After losing her mother, Willow finds herself in an unfamiliar school, surrounded by unfamiliar faces and struggling with memories she'd rather forget. Quiet, reserved and reluctant to let anyone in, she convinces herself that keeping to herself is the safest way to avoid getting hurt.But things begin to change when she meets Chloe, a classmate who slowly finds her way into Willow's guarded world.For the first time in a long while, Willow begins to believe that perhaps life could be different. That maybe friendship isn't as complicated as she thought.Until it is.Between unexpected friendships, broken trust, embarrassing moments, complicated feelings and encounters she never saw coming, Willow discovers that starting over doesn't necessarily mean leaving the past behind.And just when she thinks she has everything figured out, life throws another unexpected chapter her way.Perhaps growing up isn't about having everything planned out. Perhaps it's about learning to live through the things you never saw coming.Because sometimes, the most unforgettable stories are the ones life writes without our permission.
