Sixteen-year-old Jessica Jane Willens blocks off the world around her with a well-built wall that hides her stubborn, sarcastic, emotion-filled personality. The wall lacks any holes and simply reveals a surface facade of quietness. All she wants is to stay hidden in the backgrounds as she had been her entire life. But one event leads to another and her life takes a hundred-and-eighty degree turn. Whether it's for the better or the worse. But is all it takes four half-brothers, three friends, a few rules, and one boyfriend to push her over the ledge? For the wall to go tumbling down and expose the jumble underneath? And maybe that beneath won't be half as bad as Jessica expected.
A first-person-story in which you follow Jessica on her journey and you start to wonder, is she really Fragile?
