Sharlene Fraser was a fifteen year old girl who always wished for the normal American family life. Sure she kept her grades up, lived in a house with her complete family and lived a normal everyday life, but none of those things were normal; She was a terrible student who never listened in class. She was distant from everyone in her family except for her sister, due to her dad's continuing battle with post traumatic stress. She would think about her wish everyday, until one day she finds out the truth about herself. Then suddenly, that wish had never seemed so far away.
