Cathryn Banks has mastered the art of hiding in plain sight by leveraging her thin frame to slip beneath people’s scrutiny. A “human encyclopedia,” Cathryn collects historical quotes the way a small boy collects baseball cards. When her teachers ask her a direct question, she fiddles with the end of her dust-colored ponytail and whispers the correct answer. At first glance, Cathryn Banks does not seem “heroic” enough to be a heroine, but first glances aren’t known for their accuracy.
When faced with an impossible choice, Cathryn does not hesitate to make sacrifices for those she loves. As her world darkens, she perseveres one day, one step, one breath at a time. Cathryn Banks may not seem heroic, but her quiet strength defies first glances.
