A compelling and moving verse novel by award-winning author, Kate Foster, who combines her heart-felt writing with an authentic view of autism and the pressure of masking. And the joy of freeing yourself from that.
Like a river,
I must keep flowing,
finding a way through
if I want to survive.
I will adapt
and fit in at school
no matter the pain this causes me.
I will paint on a mask
and hide my struggles.
I must do more, be more,
or risk spoiling everything.
But can I be strong
like a river?
