Learning to Live

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” - Helen Keller

Rachel Hylard lived a seemingly good American life. She was a sophomore at a public high school in a semi-small town in Washington, her parents were still married, she was well liked by kids her age, and she had an older brother that was more like a best friend.
But tragedy seems to strike those who never expect it, and in Rachel's case it's no different. Her entire world is shaken up when her brother does the unthinkable, and her "good" life will never be the same.
