Carter was stuck living with her abusive mother and step-father. She felt like she was living in a never ending cycle of sadness. It wasn't until her stepfather was murdered by her mother that she was taken out of the toxic household. Carter was placed with her four brothers, brothers she didn't even know she had. Her mother took her at a young age, so young that she didn't remember her brothers at all. But they remember her, they never stopped looking for her. Carter has a lot of secrets, secrets she intends to keep. Will she be able to keep her past hidden?

When Mathilda was twelfe, her world fell apart. A tragic car accident stole her father, her mother drowned her grief in alcohol, and her brothers slowly drifted away-reduced to rare phone calls every few months, if at all. Now, with their mother's death forcing them back into each other's lives, the siblings are faced with the fragile possibility of rebuilding what was lost. But wounds this deep don't heal easily. And Mathilda must decide whether some bonds are worth forgiving-or whether the past will keep them forever broken.

"You have to be responsible for me. I'm just a burden." Cole's voice was quiet but firm coming from next to me. "Flo, that's not true. You're not a burden. We're just... worried about you.

I'm sorry for that," I said, my voice wavering. "Maybe you'd all be better off without me." Book 1: The Edge of Family ✔️ Book 2: Back from the Edge
