Summary:

The only thing Gemma has ever wanted is to go outside... just once.

Deemed by her concerned parents too sick to be exposed to the diseases that lie outside her home, she has spent her whole life cooped up her bedroom, her only friend the sickly Colin Craven from the book she adores, The Secret Garden.

She imagines life outside the walls of her bedroom, what the wind and sun feels like, what having companions and going to school is like. Everything we have ever taken for granted is a novelty for her.

She dreams about something more than what her life is, dreams of her future, dreams about finding the garden that holds friends, laughter and most of all, freedom.

If you're reading this I'm sure I owe you at least one of these: I'm Sorry. I Forgive You. You Were Right. And most importantly, Thank You. If you've made me smile, you've helped me live.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, or fabulous?

&quot;Love is as much of an object as an obsession, everybody wants it, everybody seeks it, but few ever achieve it, those who do will cherish it, be lost in it, and among all, never... never forget it.&quot; -Curtis Judalet
