Sixteen-year-old Ava Lee lost everything that could be lost in a fire: her parents, her best friend, her home, and even her face. Ava doesn't need a mirror to know what she looks like—she sees herself reflected in the frightened eyes of those around her. A year after the fire, her family and doctors decide she should go back to school in search of a "new normal," even though Ava doesn't believe it. That there might be some normality in the burnt girl's life. But when Ava meets Piper, now in a wheelchair after an accident, she realizes she doesn't have to face the nightmare of her high school world alone. Sarcastic and outspoken, Piper is not afraid to push Ava out of her comfort zone, helping her find friends, return to the stage and believe in herself again. But Piper is fighting her own battle, and her friends still have to decide whether to continue to hide behind their scars or accept help, spread their wings and fly.
