Crossing Borders 2

The boundaries between you and me… When worlds collide and a chance encounter changes everything…

Mia and Adam - two young, (seemingly) perfect lives, with the world at their feet. But hidden behind their delicate facade crumbles a painful truth: the past.

Mia's life is perfect. Not only are her two million followers on the internet convinced of this, but so is Mia's mother, who spares no expense to provide her beautiful daughter with a life she should be grateful for. The many scars on her skin and the lack of shine in her eyes are hidden by a filter, showing the world what she wants them to see.

Adam is a model student. Achieving top grades and studying for hours is a given for the successful young man, as there isn’t much else waiting for him at home. Since his mom is no longer around, Adam's world has turned gray. Even his escape into the colorful world of art cannot fill that void.

A heartfelt and profound coming-of-age story that shows how the appearance of a perfect life can be deceiving.
