"Defiance" by Valerie Hobbs tells the story of a young girl named Mariah who struggles with the complexities of growing up in a world filled with expectations and challenges. Living on a farm with her family, Mariah longs for freedom and a chance to find her own identity. When she encounters a wounded wolf, the bond they form symbolizes her desire to break free from societal norms and embrace her true self. As she navigates friendship, family dynamics, and her personal journey, Mariah learns about courage, resilience, and the power of defying limitations in pursuit of her dreams.
