About This Book

Grace is a determined sixteen-year-old caught between hope and fear as she searches for a cure to the illness that took her mother away. Working alongside top scientists in a genetics lab, she uncovers a breakthrough that might change everything — but as her own mind begins to falter, she must confront the possibility that the disease could be affecting her too. This gripping tale explores the challenges of mental illness and the strength it takes to face the unknown.
