"I was reminded again of how fragile our dreams really are, and how we have to work to make them stronger..." Lilly Andrews wanted to pursue her dream to be a ballerina, but unfortunately, things can't always be the way they are for the heroines in books; and Lilly is learning that it is a lot harder to reach goals than it seems in stories. Happily ever after just doesn't seem to be occuring right now, as she faces the seemingly unendurable loss: the death of her parents in a plane crash. She wants to move on with her life, but she can't help but wonder... "Would this be what they wanted?" Lilly knows that she will never be the same again, but she eventually learns to move on from the past, make the most of the present, and to mold her future, with the legacies left behind.
