Heart Beat

Anything can happen in a Heart Beat. Someone could become gravely ill, face great danger, or even die at any moment; in a heart beat.
Everything was normal for Jay until the day her father went to jail. Though her normal is very different from anyone else's normal. Her mother had pressed charges for abuse. But not all was good yet. The cycle of abuse had started to circle through the household. She was now as abusive as her ex-husband.
After hurting Henry, their mother was also taken to jail. Anika, Ashton, Henry and Jay are left orphaned and must stay at Jays best friend Carah's home for the time being.
Jay often finds herself asking if the 'Heart Beats' will ever stop.
