"Learning to Let Go" follows 16-year-old Cassie Hale as she navigates grief, responsibility, and the tightrope of control after her dad leaves. In the quiet lakeside town of Maple Harbor, she learns that life—like kites and paper cranes—requires letting go. Through chaotic regattas, family tensions, and imperfect friendships, Cassie discovers courage isn't about perfection; it's about trusting others, embracing uncertainty, and finding beauty in the messy, unplanned moments. A tender coming-of-age story for young adults about surrendering, growing, and learning that sometimes the bravest act is releasing your grip.
