Hello! my name is Jessamyn Miller, im 14 years old. I was born in Des Moines Iowa, on September 16, 2005. I wrote this book the way I did because these are my past experiences. I was homeschooled up until 6th grade and didn't really have many friends. When I came to my school, I was really shy and didn't really talk. I was the quietest in my class. When I first started 8th grade, my best friends told me how they really felt about me, that they didn't really like me, that I was too emotional. but then a couple of months later I met Dolly and Josiah, who are my best friends and i wouldn't. trade them for the world.
