Nila has always been called the sunshine in the lives of those she loves. Until she was adopted by Luke Smallbone when she was nine, she was in the foster care system for the only part of her life that she remembered, but she was okay with that. She'd always been given loving, caring foster families, and now, at fifteen, she has the best forever home she could ask for, and is a cheerful-as-ever as a daughter, older sister, niece, and friend. But then, seemingly out of nowhere, she starts having nightmares, and later discovers that they're of events she never remembered from her early childhood. With the words and deeds of her true biological parents echoing in her mind, she starts to struggle in ways she wouldn't have dreamed possible. But she's too scared, too used to being the brightest light in the room, to come forward about what she's dealing with to her dad, or her uncle, who are both growing more concerned by the day. Finally, everything falls and Nila decides to end her own life. A close save by Joel spares it, but it seems that she's only getting worse, now not only dealing with what she always was, but also a load of shame larger than herself. And now, Luke and Joel are in a desperate struggle for the life of the girl they love so much, to show her that she's found the place where she belongs, where there are no more broken lullabies.

#908 in Teen Fiction '9/12/2016' #788 in Teen Fiction '18/1/2017' Life could be really tough. It could be sunshine-y and peachy but just like that, it turns upside down and everything falls apart like an avalanche. This is exactly what happened to Alexa Gray. Alexa was the school's sunshine, everyone loved her. Until she was diagnosed with stage 4 Leukemia, and her life went down the hill. She made a promise to herself to make the last 6 weeks of her life unforgettable. So, she makes a deal with the devil- school's badboy- himself; Noah Black. But, as all stories, the Matchmaker has to interfere. A Cancer Diagnosed Girl. A Badboy. And A Bet That Changes Their Lives. ------------------- Started: 14th of May 2016 Completed: 13th of September 2016 ------------------- Cover made by the amazing @Jenikel098 ------------------- DISCLAIMER!! This novel was literally written in 4 months when I was at the age of 14 trying to overcome my obsession with the fault in our stars (yes, I used to read the book at a bare minimum of 3 times per week, if not once daily). I decided to write my own version of it and as you can see, it turned out like this. If you choose to read it and find it silly that is because it's written by a 14-year old. So, please don't write hate comments or anything. Thank you all, have a nice time reading it!
