In "Waiting for No One" by Beverley Brenna, we follow the life of a young girl named Taylor, who navigates the complex challenges of adolescence while dealing with the loss of her mother. Struggling with feelings of abandonment and isolation, Taylor finds solace in her friends and the world of art. As she grapples with the expectations of those around her, she learns to embrace her own identity and the importance of resilience. Through her journey, Taylor discovers that healing is not linear and that it's essential to find one's voice amidst the chaos of life’s uncertainties.
