A poignant story of a young woman’s struggle with mental illness
Remy is an intellectual overachiever but she can’t figure out how to deal with her small town family who just don’t understand her. With the help of her childhood best friend and the stranger that encourages her to be herself maybe she can find a way to deal with her problems. An excellent story. Highly recomended.
