Clover Marianne Emerson has always been a quiet storm, hiding her fears behind soft smiles and her scars beneath impossible expectations. When tragedy uproots her life, she is thrust into the chaos of her brothers' world-a place of loud voices, sharp edges, and a love she doesn't know how to accept. They are strangers bound by blood, each with their own cracks and shadows. Clover tries to fit herself into their lives, perfect and invisible, but perfection is a fragile thing. As the walls between them start to crumble, so does the mask she's always worn. Follow Clove as she learns to navigate teenage life, sibling rivalry, and her own dreams and as she begins to discover that perfection isn't what binds a family together-it's love, chaos, and everything in between.

"Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani, amore," they whispered. (No one will dare touch you again without losing their hands, love.) I felt two hands hold my face with a soft kiss on my forehead. Their rough and large hands a contrast to their gentleness. The comforter over me shuffled as the familiar person brought them up to my chin and tucked me in. "Riposati ora sei al sicuro, bambina," they murmured, stroking my hair. Before I knew it, simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off again into a deep sleep. (Rest now, you're safe, baby). ☆ ☆ ☆ 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐄 (noun): a state of being pleasantly lost in one's thoughts; a daydream.
