In "Star in the Forest" by Laura Resau, the story follows a young girl named Zola, who finds herself grappling with her identity and the pressures of family expectations. When she’s sent to visit her estranged father in a small town, Zola connects with a mysterious girl named the Star, who leads her on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery. Amidst the backdrop of nature's beauty, Zola learns about friendship, love, and the importance of embracing one's true self. As she navigates her relationship with her father and the challenges of adolescence, Zola discovers the strength within herself to forge her own path.
