Banished and broken, the soft girl disappears. Eighteen months later, she returns hardened, unrecognizable, and hell-bent on never trusting anyone again. Now the past won't stay buried. Lies are cracking. And the truth? It might tear them all apart. Can a fractured family rebuild what was lost, or will blood loyalty be the thing that finally destroys them? Secrets will be exposed. Lines will be crossed. And Marina must decide. Does she want revenge... or a family worth fighting for?

"I killed my best friend when I was drunk driving. It's been two years, and I'll never, ever, forgive myself." [ book one of The Past Tetralogy ]

Between 1854 and 1929, up to a quarter of a million children from New York City and other Eastern cities were sent by train to towns in the Midwestern and Western states. The orphan trains as they were later known served to remove children from slums and get them off the streets by transporting them to 'good' homes out West. Life in the rural Midwest was deemed better for the children than life in a crowded Eastern city, where epidemics of typhoid, flu, and yellow fever left many children orphaned. But not all the children were orphaned, many were simply abandoned or their parents could no longer take care of them due to poverty or illness. Rather than placing children into the overcrowded and bleak orphanages, the Children's Aid Society placed them out of the area and in a family setting in rural America where they were to be of service to those taking them in. This is the story of eleven year old John who was one of those children.

"Look at me" He demanded. I flinched at the tone he used but lifted my head to look at him. I stared at the wall behind him. I couldn't look at him. "Into my eyes" He added in the same tone. I took a deep breath and landed my gaze on him. I saw a ghost of a smile form on his lips. He seemed happy but I could see his eyes watering, making his inky blue eye color appear lighter. "You never look at me" He whispered. I could hear a crack in his voice. "Before you I thought I was nothing-" He smiled bitterly, "-but when you look at me I feel like I'm worth something. Weird right?" My heart was beating loudly as he got closer. This is a spin off for Nate from 'Her Guardian'.
