Abstract:
The creative thesis I have worked on over the past three years is a full-length Young Adult novel entitled When We Fall. It follows two former childhood friends, their complicated relationship, and what happens when one of them feels compelled to run away from their problems. The characters in my story, Alison and Connor, are experiencing the same challenges with self-worth and identity that many young adults face. In my work with this powerful platform, I feel compelled to craft stories that will engage readers in conversations about their choices, values, and identities just as my favorite Young Adult authors have done for me.
