Downloading The Quiet Between Us

When Avery arrives in the quiet coastal town of Stonebridge Bay, they're running from a life that never quite fit escaping the noise of expectations, failed relationships, and a future that felt like wearing someone else's clothes. All they want is silence, solitude, and space to rediscover who they really are.

Like Avery, she's seeking refuge from a life that demanded too much and gave back too little.
