Synopsis

From the mind of 8th grader Riyani Patel comes an inspirational story about strength, resilience, courage, and love. Patel, who suffers from Tourrettes, infused her personal struggles with having this illness in a middle school environment into her main character Tanya Weeks.

By supporting her you support a young voice yearning for acceptance and understanding from her peers and the community around her. Riyani hopes this book will raise awareness for Tourettes and give hope for others suffering from this disease. She knows you will enjoy it cover to cover.
