  This is a truth about growing up. 
   
  Once in your life, sometime after your first memory but before you can drive a car, something is going to happen to you that doesn’t happen to anyone else you know. It might be something good. It might be something bad, or special, or funny, or shocking. 
   
  For Millie, it’s something really sad. Lolo, her neighbors’ infant daughter, dies—unexpectedly, suddenly, inexplicably—on the night Millie babysits. 
   
  There’s nothing she could have done. There’s nothing she can do now. So how does she go on?  
   
  She does what you’ll do. She finds her way. 
   
  This poignant and profound coming-of-age story portrays a tragic experience of responsibility and its poisonous flip side: guilt. Cathartic and important, it’s an honest and empathetic portrait of a girl at her most vulnerable—a mess of grief,  
  love, and ultimately, acceptance—who must reckon with those most difficult of demons: death … and life.

  Do you feel like no matter what you do, it’s always wrong? Like you’ll never be successful? Do you watch your friends or classmates on social media and think, How did they do it? Do you read articles about depression, anxiety, or being bullied and think, Yeah, that fits me, but why? Do you wonder if you can stop it? 
  Today’s world revolves around the internet, social media, and cell phones. What you see on the internet is personalized from information collected about you. Just about everything encountered affects who we are. You decide if something has a big impact, little impact, or no impact, and how. 
  Are you looking for a way to break from FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and chasing that social media status? Do you want to get out of the rut and stop being told by the internet and social media who you are? 
  Inner Peace will help you face fears, learn who you are, and remember what you wanted to be versus where you are now. The important thing to remember is that you’re going to be the one looking at you, the one deciding in the end, and the one pursuing the goal. This is all for you.

  Maren Partridge loves working in her family's dream shop where she can hand-craft any dream imaginable. The shop has only one rule. Dreams cannot be given to a person without their consent. Maren has no problem with this—until her sister, Hallie, has an accident that leaves her in a coma. Maren's certain she can cure Hallie with a few well-chosen dreams. And when no one is watching, she slips her a flying dream. 
   
   
   
  But a strange new customer from the shop has been following Maren and knows what she did. Now she's laid the perfect trap to blackmail Maren into creating custom nightmares for a dark and terrible purpose. As Maren gets drawn further into the sinister scheme, she must make a choice: to protect her family or to protect the town from her family's magic.
