Everyone has something going for them. Some people are rich, some people have great families, or good a house. And even if they're at the bottom of their lives, at least they have an identity. A personality. Astra didn't even feel she had that. Everything felt wrong. But he made everything feel right. ********************************************************************* She traveled with the 10th Doctor, but no one saw her. The Doctor loved her, too, but no one knew. She was the Doctor's best friend, but everyone thought it was Donna. Between Martha and Donna, she and the Doctor battled monsters and aliens. She was special, but no one realised. Her story was never told. Her story was never seen. But now it is. ********************************************************************* This book is for @xShielta, who gave me the inspiration for this book. *********************************************************************
