About This Book
The soft creak of the old wooden floor fills the quiet room as Elsie tiptoes, her heart pounding with a secret she can't share. The scent of blooming magnolias drifts through the open window, but not even spring's sweet breath can ease the worry knotting her tummy. Facing a choice that could change everything, Elsie wonders if she has the courage to stand strong when the world seems against her.
