Seventeen year old Rena Klein hasn't had the best life, a drug addicted mother, no father, bullies, and younger sister to look after. No one knows her struggles until one day they are brought to the light. 
    
    Story inspired by song "Blackbird" by Nina Simone. 
    
    Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
    You ain't ever gonna fly
    
    No place big enough for holding
    All the tears you're gonna cry
    Cause your mama's name was "Lonely"
    And your daddy's name was "Pain"
    
    And they call you "Little Sorrow"
    Cause you'll never love again
    
    So why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
    You ain't ever gonna fly
    Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
    You ain't ever gonna fly
    
    You ain't got no one to hold you
    You ain't got no one to care
    If you'd only understand, dear
    Nobody wants you anywhereAll Rights Reserved
