Edward finds an injured girl in the forest. He calls Carlisle to save her... She becomes the newest member of the Cullen family. If you're afraid of spoilers, then I guess that's all you need to know from a description. If you would like to know more: ⚠️ Spoiler Alert! If you don't want any spoilers at all, now is the time to stop reading the description and just jump into the story. Really. I mean it. 👀 Still reading? Okay, don't say I didn't warn you. 😅 📚 Reading Note: The first 35-40 chapters focus mainly on the Cullens adopting Lara and her settling into the Cullen family and her new life in Forks. For me, they feel a bit like comfort food-lots of soft moments, cozy family vibes, and small conflicts here and there, but nothing too dramatic (yet). You could even read many of them like gentle, connected one-shots. If you're here for Bella: she enters the story in chapter 34, but just a heads-up-this story isn't about Bella. So what is it about? At its heart, this is a story about finding family.❤️ What if the Cullens adopted a teenager and what would parenting look like for Esme and Carlisle if they suddenly had to raise an actual teenage girl-with all that comes with it? Let's just say... things won't stay as smooth as they are in the first 30-40 chapters. 🫣
