"Follow Your Arrow" by Jessica Verdi follows the story of a teenager named Daria who struggles with her identity and the expectations placed upon her. When her mother announces her intention to start dating again after her father's passing, Daria feels a whirlwind of emotions. As she navigates the complexities of grief, love, and her own burgeoning sexual identity, she finds solace and understanding in unexpected places. The journey leads her to embrace the idea that it's okay to be true to oneself, regardless of the fears and uncertainties surrounding her. Ultimately, it's a heartfelt exploration of self-discovery and acceptance. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
