Growing up Hadley by Dana Harp
A heartbreaking story of resilience, friendship, and self-discovery.
Thirteen is a hard age. Even harder when you lose your mom to cancer. For Hadley, it means being left in the hands of an angry, alcoholic father who chips away at her self-worth until her anxiety is almost crippling.
Desperate for solace, an unexpected friendship blooms – a lifeline woven from patience, respect, and shared laughter. Suddenly, Hadley starts to smile again. Really, truly smile. That is until her father’s outlandish demands ruin everything.
As Hadley grows up, she faces a choice: succumb to her father’s toxic hold or finally put herself first and dare to chase the dreams she once whispered to the stars.
