The Protagonist Chapter

Iris Eliz McKinney-Graves has it rough. Her mother went insane and was taken away, her father left her, and her older sister Delilah has Down syndrome. Everything seems to be doing fine or not-so-fine, and when her 8th grade life contains girl drama, boy drama, suspected fatalities and ugly reunions, it seems to be turning out to be one of those not-so-fine times. Iris has a theory: With twist after twist, climaxes and low points, life is a giant storybook, with every person having their own chapter. But it seems that the world sees the people with conditions as supporting characters. And if theres one thing Iris wants to do ... is stop this. Because in the end, everyone is their own protagonist of their own chapter.
