Trusting Fate

Aspen Taylor's life has been turned upside down more than once. At the age of sixteen she should have been concerned with the newest gossip or her latest crush but instead over the past few years she had taken the roll of caring for her mother who turned to alcohol, drugs, and random men that come and go from the house. Her father Mark left her and her mother when she was twelve years old for another woman and her three kids. He didn't leave until after breaking down her mother Christine to the point where she had no friends, family, or a job left, leaving her a wreck. The only person Aspen has let into her life the past few years has been her best friend Brandon Miller. Brandon doesn't even know all of Aspens hidden secrets or what she's been through. If he did would he still see her with the same eyes?So what happens as Christines addiction goes too far and someone from their past comes back into their life?

In one day she finds out her mother is in a drug related coma, that she is being moved across the country to live with her godparents and their four boys; a family she hasn't seen in over eleven years, and her best friend tells her something that might change the way she sees him. Will she find a place in a family where she feels loved? Will her past come to haunt her?
