Larkin Wood was a lot of things: Smart, stubborn, and hardworking, but never careless. Careless she left for the lucky ones who didn't have their life ripped straight out of a crappy fairytale. At the young age of twelve, her father was taken from her by cancer, causing Larkin to see the world for the cruel, hard place it really was. Left only with two vicious step-sisters and a greedy step-mother for a family, she learned that laying low and working hard were essential for a possible life away from her dysfunctional family. With a voice as sweet as an angel's, Larkin's solace comes from music. But when one careless mistake thrusts her voice into the spotlight, what will she do? Will she abandon her dreams of a normal life, or come out of hiding?
