But when a person from his past appears and threatens to take away the ones he holds closest to his heart, he has to stand up and fight like never before. He has to pick up the pieces he scrambled together over years of neglect, and face the patchwork of trauma, hurt and relationships that build him. He knew he was broken.

They weren't supposed to survive her. But they did. In a crumbling South Side apartment, eight Whitman siblings hold each other together while everything else falls apart. Their mother, Sylvia, is a storm of neglect, rage, and addiction. Their father is a ghost. And their home? It's less a house and more a battleground. Adeline Whitman, twenty and barely holding it together, becomes mother by default - protector, provider, and punching bag. But when Sylvia spirals out of control and the system threatens to break the family apart, Adeline makes a choice: she's done surviving. Now she's fighting. As each sibling battles their own demons - Rory's temper, Lily's growing addiction, Sophie's quiet grief, Leah's walls, Tessa's fear, Alyssa's innocence - they cling to each other and to the few people who actually give a damn, including the chaotic, loyal Gallagher family down the street. This isn't a story about perfect kids overcoming adversity. This is about kids who were never given a chance - choosing to stay anyway. To love each other anyway. To fight like hell anyway.

They don't see the bruises she has to cover up every morning. They don't see her having to step up to take care of her two younger siblings. She puts on a fake smile as soon as she walks through the school doors and slowly builds her walls up higher as each day goes on. She thinks no one will ever see past her facade...that is, until three new bad boys come strolling into town taking an automatic interest in Dakota. And one certain bad boy can read her like an open book. Will Dakota eventually let these three bad boys in? Or will she keep everything in until she finally reaches her breaking point?
