While her family life feels fractured and her school world turns harsh, Finch’s fear and loneliness drive her to touch the scar and imagine a future where her feathers fully return. In the prologue, Finch explains how she learned to trust the story her mother told her and why she believes flying is not a fantasy but a powerful, undeniable
