eenager Leila’s life is full of challenges. From bouncing
around the foster care system to living with seasonal
Taffective disorder, she’s never had an easy road. Leila
keeps herself busy with her passion for environmental advocacy,
monitoring the Urban Ecovists message board and joining a local
environmental club with her best friend Sarika. And now that Leila
has finally been adopted, she dares to hope her life will improve.

But the voices in Leila’s head are growing louder by the day.
Ignoring them isn’t working anymore. Something calls out to her the girl and the grove
from the grove at Fairmount Park. Is she ready to answer?
