About this ebook
This is a love story you haven't read before, a raw and vulnerable story of finding hope, love, and friendship through struggles with mental illness.
Alyssa Sherlock was a sensitive, anxious child

Alyssa Sherlock
Alyssa Sherlock has had an overactive imagination since she was a child, and has been a writer most of her life as a result. She's interested in making sense of the world through story, particularly through exploring topics of loneliness, mental health, family, and friendship. She makes her home in the beautiful prairie landscape of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
