She never expected her life to turn out this way, and she's slowly losing herself. ~ What happens when Parker and Bailey's paths cross?

Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends.
