Emilie has been
homeschooled most of her life. Since she
was diagnosed with epilepsy, she has been afraid to be around people very much,
or to do anything that might trigger a seizure.
Since her father died of cancer, she has been even more reluctant to
interact with other people. Her mother
and therapist have agreed that she needs to go to be more involved so now she
is attending public high school. If she’s
being forced to try and be normal, she wants the chance to just be normal, so
she doesn’t want to tell anyone about her seizures. This becomes complicated as she starts to
make friends, and possibly even a boyfriend.
She knows she can’t keep the secret forever, but is afraid of telling
people the truth. This is a great
realistic story about growing up and navigating the emotional waters of high
school life.
