Author Description

Mindy is falling through the cracks. Weighed down by a lack of social support and a chronically ill younger brother, she goes through the motions at her Orthodox Jewish high school, never letting on that she feels ready to crumble. When she finally makes friends, her family and teachers question her choices, further alienating her from the adults in her life. Wallflower is the story of one girls' struggle to be seen and heard in a world where she has always been invisible.
