Sixteen-year-old Avery can't catch her breath. Literally. A rare lung condition leaves her gasping for air, tethered to an oxygen tank. When her family moves across the country, Avery must navigate a new school and find the courage to be herself. But as her health declines, she's faced with a devastating choice: play it safe or risk it all for a chance at a normal life.
