Bianca Briscoe is a writer, public service professional, and mother who is passionate about empowering young girls to grow with confidence and courage. Inspired by watching her daughter balance school, sports, dance, and friendships, she wrote this book to remind teen girls that they don’t have to be perfect to succeed—they simply need the confidence to keep showing up and growing.

Through her work and writing, Bianca hopes to encourage girls everywhere to believe in themselves, embrace their unique journey, and understand that progress matters far more than perfection.

What happens when loving more than one dream starts to feel overwhelming?

In Hits Different, twelve-year-old Brielle Davis is doing her best to balance it all—school, family, faith, friendships, competitive dance, and volleyball. She loves deeply, works hard, and believes big dreams deserve big effort. But as her schedule fills and expectations grow, Brielle begins to wonder if chasing everything she loves might cost her more than she expected.

Through early mornings, long practices, quiet prayers, and honest conversations, Brielle learns that success isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency, courage, and showing up even on the hard days. With the support of her family, coaches, teammates, and her faith, she discovers that balance isn’t something you master once—it’s something you learn, adjust, and grow into.

Heartwarming, relatable, and inspiring, Hits Different is a story for kids who feel pulled in more than one direction, who love more than one thing, and who are learning that their journey doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s to matter.

This uplifting middle-grade novel celebrates:

• Effort over perfection
• Faith on hard days
• Confidence without comparison
• Growth through discipline and grace

Perfect for readers ages 9–15, Hits Different reminds us that being consistent—even on the messy days—hits different.
