Run fast and run far, unless youβre fearless. Unless youβre courageous. Iβm not, but Iβd like to be. Pearl Jaeger is seventeen and homeless after drugs, poverty, and addiction unraveled the life she shared with JJ, her formerly glamorous rock star mother. This moment of happiness is fleeting; someone will take it from me. When tragedy brings a chance to start over at an elite boarding school, she doesnβt hesitate. Yet the only salvation comes from an art teacher as troubled as Pearl, and she faces the stark reality that what she thought she wanted isnβt straightforward. I trace the outline of my reflection in a window. I am no more than a replica of my mother. This is not the self-portrait I want to paint. Through the friendships she forms at schoolβespecially with Grant, a boy who shows Pearl what it means to trust and forgiveβshe begins to see a path not defined by her past. But when confronted with the decision to be courageous or to take the easy way forged by her motherβs failures, which direction will Pearl choose?
