NOTE: I originally posted and finished this book back in 2018. (Which is still available for you to read on here) However, this edition contains additional scenes and chapters. Stef Foster and Lena Adams are two women who are serving 20 years in prison for voluntary manslaughter. Lena initially fears the blonde, but they soon fall deeply in love while trying to navigate life in Chowchilla Women's Prison. This story does not depict factual prison life. It's purely for fun and your enjoyment!

Francesca "Kia" Foster grew up seeing her mother, Stefanie Foster, and her family horribly addicted to drugs in the 1980's in the South Bronx. While living in a very unstable and chaotic home with her mother, uncle, her mother's off and on again girlfriend, her cousins, her great-grandmother, and her crazy Aunt Callie, Robbie tries hard to shelter his niece. But he is not successful. However, when the little girl meets a teacher, Lena Adams, at the Recreation Center when she is just seven years old, the woman soon fosters Francesca as the young girl watches her uncle die of AIDS and her mother fall deeper into addiction along with the rest of her family. Being 15 now and a jr. in high school, Francesca wonders about her future and if she can truly break the cycle of addiction with a dream her mother once had. To become an artist. But is Stef the only one that can help her achieve that dream? Is she now clean and willing to have a relationship with her daughter? Or will Francesca succumb to the streets just like her family? And, is Lena's love enough to help heal the girl's pain? We will truly see.

For Lena the one person keeping her from happiness and love is her fiance, Mason. For Stef, the one person holding her back is her boss, Captain Mason Hazelwood. The two find a way to risk it all just to have a life together. But it's not always a good idea to dance around a sleeping monster. I do not own The Fosters or the characters from the Fosters.

***I've created a Pintrest board for this story - @xace28x and the EDTC board, so check out if you're interested*** What happens when Abby Williams, just an average teenager, falls in love with her beautiful English teacher, Sarah Proctor? And what happens if those feelings are reciprocated? My first attempt on Wattpad, a forbidden love/romance flick. Don't quite know where this is going - stick with me to find out :) *PG-13 for later chapters*
