Nat
"Ink always dries."
After the devastating suicide of her best friend Coli, 15 year old Natalie turns to journaling to cope with her overwhelming grief. Struggling with guilt and isolation, she pours her emotions onto the page and joins a support group for teens. A deep conversation with Ezra, a friend who understands silent pain, inspires her to transform her journal entries into a novel. As Natalie writes, she begins to confront hidden truths about her friendship with Coli, unspoken struggles, and the weight of what was left unsaid. Through storytelling, she finds healing, connection, and the courage to speak the truth—not just for herself, but for others who need to hear it.
