Suspense, intrigue, and unwavering determination weave together as Amber, Ben, Ellen, and Michael navigate the aftermath of shattered illusions. Can their friendship withstand the trials they face? Will they rebuild their lives stronger than before? This gripping tale promises an emotional rollercoaster, leaving readers yearning for more as they turn each page. Join these four friends on their extraordinary journey, as they defy adversity and seek redemption.  This is a coming-of-age story where the characters start at thirteen in the first book and mature into adults by the last one. The series leans more towards New Adult (NA) than Young Adult (YA) due to the content in the last two books, which might be inappropriate for certain YA age groups. While the first two books fit YA, the rating is specifically for the last two books, where the characters are adults, and I've written them to reflect that progression. Reader discretion is advised, especially for younger readers.
