Bright New Penny

After a disastrous breakup and an unexpected miscarriage, Penny Sanders yearns to heal and return to a normal life. Hanging out with her friends. Playing on the school's basketball team. Using her creativity to draw her favorite movie characters. It's what keeps her going while her parents constantly ignores her.

When her parents announced moving to the city earlier than planned, Penny moves in with a friend. A friend who seems to have a perfect loving family. One she never had. One she felt like she would never have.

What makes matters worse is the fact that Ashley's stepmother is pregnant. Something that makes Penny withdraws. It will take a talk with an unsuspected person to get her to reveal the truth. And become closer to healing.
