“The Way She Is”
When 12-year-old Tessa is sent to live with her blunt, emotionally guarded Aunt Kate after her charming but irresponsible father is imprisoned, both must learn how to coexist. Through the rhythm of quiet group hikes and the support of Kate's gentle partner Calvin, Tessa begins to see through the lies she's been told—and Kate begins to understand the healing power of showing up, day after day, even when it's hard.

During the summer before high school, 13-year-old Zoey, a quirky photographer struggling with body image and feeling like an outsider, finds herself caught between fitting in and staying true to herself. When a hurtful prank from the 'cool kids' leaves her feeling more alone than ever, she learns to trust her own voice, with help from her offbeat friends, a wise grandfather, and a supportive teacher.
Two years after saving a stray dog and discovering the true meaning of connection, Bridget and her loyal companion Nudge set out to bring Christmas to everyone in town, even if it means going head-to-head with Rockville's most stubborn Scrooge.
When a stray dog follows 12-year-old Bridget through her small town, she embarks on an unexpected journey, discovering loyalty, courage, and the joy of an unlikely friendship along the way.
