"Sometimes it just isn't what you thought it would be..." Talia James tries her possible best to live her life with a smile everyday. Even if that includes plastering fake smiles on her face. The mask of joy had been her friend for as long as she could remember. For her, her family is most important. She doesn't have the luxury that other teenagers do. She loves life and wants to make the best out of it. For her sake and for her family. And she definitely doesn't take shit. She just wants to make them happy. But what if that's not what the want? Will it be how she thought it would?
