About The Book
Meet Kayla Grisholm, a vibrant 22-year-old fourth-year student in Information and Media Studies, brimming with wit and ambition for a future as a radio announcer.
Beyond her purple sports wheelchair and Dynavox Speech Synthesizer that masks her speech impediment, Kayla yearns for people to see her true self.
Her heart beats for Jerome, the track and field star—a hot, athletic fourth-year engineering student who, inexplicably to her, hasn’t seen her for who she truly is since they first met.
Enter Marc Sanderson, the radio broadcasting director—geeky yet brilliant, with a talent for designing and modifying devices that enhance Kayla’s life. Marc harbors a secret love for her, seeing beyond her disability to the music in her voice.
But Jerome carries his own burdens from the past, and when old wounds resurface, Kayla is left shattered. Marc steps in to help her pick up the pieces amidst near-drownings, emergency surgeries, and heartbreaks in Punta Cana—a tumultuous climax to her final year at university.
Kayla navigates a year of love, passion, joy and heartache where dreams are shared, none more profound than “Kayla’s Dream”.
