Framed through the lens of resilience, this research-based book unfolds in personal narrative.

Backed by research from educators, psychologists, philosophers, and students themselves, the story unfolds through themes of understanding, purpose, perseverance, and hope. It carries the reader through the seasons, from a winter of growth to a spring of hope for the future of education. This book is a resource for parents, teachers, and everyone else who shares a meaningful connection with young adolescents through the dynamic life stage that occurs in the middle grades.
