Releasing – August, 2026
Casey Valentine arrives at college determined to start over. This time, as herself.
After years of hiding in the foster system, she’s finally living openly as a woman. But being seen isn’t as simple as she hoped. Every class, every conversation, every glance carries the weight of who she used to be, and who others think she is now.
Then she finds something she never expected: people who see her, stand beside her, and refuse to let her disappear.
As her world opens up with late-night laughter, found family, and the possibility of love, Casey begins to experience things she never thought she’d have—real friendships, firsts that feel right, and the fragile hope of belonging in her own skin.
But when fear, judgment, and the echoes of her past threaten to pull her back into hiding, Casey must decide if she’s ready to keep becoming who she’s always been inside.
Because this time, it’s not just about surviving. It’s about finally living.
