I grew up with boys. I grew up with twelve boys to be exact. I grew up in an ocean of opposites and learned how to appeal to the masses of brothers who never understood how hard I worked to please them. As a single girl with a wealth of brothers and brothers’ friends, I learned how to excel in my areas of interest (art mostly) to set myself apart from the rest. I learned how to be resourceful and to use my particular strengths. I learned to believe in and rely on myself. Space was made for my created world that allowed be to be just one, not one in thirteen.

This book is a story about the girl in red and her years of self-discovery.
