Foster-care Stories

Melody and Micah Whitley have built a life together in the small town of Valley Falls. They fell in love in college, where Micah was a star baseball pitcher-until a shoulder injury ended his dreams of the major leagues. Melody is used to standing beside the people she loves, adjusting when plans change. She and her sister grew up in foster care, and when Dana passed away, Melody stepped into motherhood when they adopted her niece, Daisy. When Micah agrees to help his childhood friend's sister, Audra, and her young son, Ben, he sees it as an opportunity to pay back an old debt. Micah invests deeply in Ben's life, but as his attention shifts, Melody and Daisy are pushed aside, and the marriage begins to strain under the weight of unspoken grief, unmet needs, and blurred boundaries. Note: There are mentions of infertility, adoption, foster care, grief, addiction/self-harm and death of a non-main character. There is no physical cheating, but there is some OW drama and emotional betrayal/infidelity. Christian and faith themes woven throughout.

It all started in high school, now I think back on it, it was the beginning of the end for me, and quite possibly for him too. Now I have a girlfriend whom I adore, but meeting him again has awoken feelings inside of me that I had forgotten about. Now I feel as if my life is an old building that is crumbling around me, I am hanging on for dear life using the thinnest of strings, rope burn threatens me, mocking me with all I have and all I could have had, I am not a strong person, I gave into peer pressure all my life without a second thought, but now, now that its quite literally do or die......... I have no idea what I should do, who should I choose? Should I choose the one that could have been? Should I choose the one that is always there for me, through thick and thin? Can I choose before it gets way out of hand? Will it be too late by the time that I make a choice? Will I end up losing it all? Could I maybe have it all? Am I doomed? doomed to fail.
