Slow to Speak

She's gotta be bold. Sonora Ramirez signs the Beholden contract on the dotted line and can't explain why. Is it her tendency to follow the crowd? Nah. Or her fear of being left behind? She doesn't think so. Or could it be she's trying to avoid that dead beat daddy? Probably. But Sonora enters the game anyway, running like she don't know who's chasing her. Pushing ahead like she don't know who's before her. Trekking through the backwoods, solving a murder, and setting up camp on a wild island. Can't nobody stand in her way now. It's a new Sonora that emerges, fearless, focused and confident-that is until she skids into a massive roadblock that sends her tumbling back into her comfort shell. Fear messes with her vision. Friend blurs with foe. Crush blends with pest. And finally, she's compelled to confront cracked friendships, false perceptions and even her own heart. Some folks say you'll lose yourself in Beholden, but Sonora just might end up winning herself back.
