Dear God, Who Am I?

Chapter 26

College is supposed to be the start of something new. For Riley, it's something else entirely.
Set in the 1990s, this is a quiet, slow-burning coming-of-age story about friendship, identity, and the questions we don't always have words for.

“No rest for the wicked,” they sighed as they closed the freezer and went to open the door.
