About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is struggling to balance their private identity with the public roles they perform, especially those involved in the performing arts or high-pressure creative hobbies. This story follows Tiggie, a young actress who lands a life-changing role in a historical drama set aboard a 19th-century ship. As she prepares for the role, the lines between her modern reality and her character's Victorian hardships begin to blur, forcing her to confront her own resilience and sense of self. It is a sophisticated look at the mental and emotional toll of 'becoming' someone else while still trying to figure out who you are. The book is ideal for ages 12 to 17, providing a realistic yet inspiring look at professional responsibility and artistic passion.
