✦The Story of a Girl Who Lost Everything and Found Her Strength✦ Kidnapped at just two years old, Gracelyn was raised by the people who stole her-her mother and stepfather. What began as a lie turned into years of cruelty, leaving her with scars that run far deeper than anyone can see. But when tragedy strikes and the only family she's ever known dies from an overdose, Gracelyn's life is thrown into chaos once again. She's sent to live with the family she was taken from-her real father and five older brothers. They're strangers bound by blood, desperate to make up for the years they lost. But Gracelyn isn't the same little girl they once knew. She's guarded, broken, and carrying secrets that could shatter what little trust she has left. Can she let them in before her past destroys her chance at healing? Or will the darkness she's lived through consume the fragile new life she's been given? ✦Author's Note✦ You may have read this story when I first began publishing chapters-I took a long break, but fear not, I've returned to continue writing. I've re-edited and refined the earlier chapters, so you may want to reread them to catch all the changes. Thank you for your patience and support.
