Run fast and run far, unless you’re fearless. Unless
you’re courageous. I’m not, but I’d 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 doesn’t 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 isn’t 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 school—especially with
Grant, a boy who shows Pearl what it means to trust and
forgive—she 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 mother’s failures, which
direction will Pearl choose?
