Alexa has never known a quiet life. As the only girl in a family of fourteen brothers, she grew up surrounded by noise - football in the hallway, arguments over the last of the milk, and the constant, glorious sound of a band rehearsing in the garage. But beneath all of it, Alexa carries a secret the whole world already knows: she was born with half a heart.
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome. A condition that has put her through surgeries that didn't work, recoveries that nearly broke her, and moments where giving up felt easier than fighting on. Yet through every hospital room, every scar, and every setback, her brothers have never left her side - and neither has the music.
Half a Heart, Full Volume is the story of a girl who was told her heart couldn't keep up, and the fourteen brothers who made sure it never had to beat alone.
This is a short story
