Alexandria Braxton was a girl that had everything life could offer, until she didn't. She had a perfect family, until she didn't, and she had the most beautiful smile, until she didn't. Her life could be described as absolutely perfect until she turned seven years old. When everything she thought couldn't possibly happen to her, did.

After her mother's death, her father took up a new hobby of being an abusive irritable drunk, which landed Alex into the devil's clutches, or more commonly known as the Foster Care System. Ever since she was seven she's been bounced from one foster home to another, each one more worse off than the last.

When Alex finally hit the proud age of seventeen she was placed in a home, much like her father's and the only thing that kept her sane, and alive for that matter was the notebook she has brought and written in with her from every house since she was seven. She lived with this family until the incident occured where the result was Child Protective Services being called.

A decision was made, and she now has to move halfway across the United States to live in a home where she has to share the same roof as six other people. And what makes the move even more stressful is when she figures out that four of her roomates are boys. 

The thing that makes it complicated is when two of the four begin to gain feelings for the broken green eyed girl.

So, will Alex's life finally get better or will this transfer make everything ten times worse?

Especially when one of them finds out about her journal. And reads it.
