Cassidy Faith always felt like the invisible sister. No matter how hard she worked, her mother only had eyes for Dianne. The golden child who could do no wrong. Even when Cassidy racked up honors at school, it barely registered. Dianne got all the celebrations. Cassidy learned to keep her head down and her feelings locked away, just aiming to finish high school near the top of her class.
Then Dianne heads off to her dream university, and suddenly Cassidy turns the tables. She drops the news: she's earned a scholarship to study abroad. It stuns her family. As she gets ready to leave the Philippines, she pours her hurt into painting, using it to build a shield around her heart.
But once she lands overseas, things don't stay simple. The new place, the new faces, they push her out of her comfort zone. Cassidy has to decide: does she keep everyone at arm's length, or finally let people in?
And somewhere in the middle of all that, there's the question of her family. Can she patch things up, or is it time to stop looking back and start living for herself?
