Meet Evelyn! She is 12 years old now and her only memories take place in an orphanage. Her orphanage experience is none of envy. No one seemed to like her, she doesn't fit in anywhere. Her caretakers call her an outcast, and treat her in that manor. She only gets two gifts a year. One on her Birthday and one on Christmas. Unfortunately, her birthday falls on the same day as Brit's, the "popular" girl. Everyone loved Brit more than anything! Even the caretakers! Well, everyone except for Evelyn. Evelyn and Brit have never gotten along. They have always been rivals! But since Brit is such and "angel sent from above" she gets an abundance of attention on her birthday every year! (As well as every other day of her life) In fact, she gets so much attention on her birthday, the majority of Evelyn's birthdays have remained forgotten! Then, one day a family comes to the orphanage and is interested in adopting. The family has a daughter the same age as Evelyn, and her name is Kinsley. Kinsley and Evelyn become instant best friends. That persuades the family to long to adopt Evelyn as soon as possible. Adoption is a long process so Evelyn has to remain at the orphanage some time after the good news. Evelyn and her soon-to-be family keep in touch as much as possible during the adoption process. Evelyn starts to fall in love with her new family before she is even a part of it, and her new family, the Graham's, fall in love with Evelyn too. But what happens when Evelyn discovers some shocking, yet super exciting news about her adoption father?

A Home for Jane
I'm not here to write a romance with a happy ending, I'm writing to prove life isn't always perfect, in most cases it never is, especially when it comes to love. This is to prove that no matter how hard life gets, don't give up, don't push people away, stand up and show whoever or what ever it is that you aren't going to let them or it hinder who you are. Life is precious and we need to live it as we want to be, not as other people want us to be. Jane has been an outcast her entire life, she was orphaned at a young age and grew up without a family. When she turned 11, the Mavery's adopted her, for the past 6 years of her life she's been stuck living in their attic. They don't treat her like part of the family. Her stuck up step-mother Ana only ever points out her flaws, and Neal her step-father doesn't stop her. You'd think that would be enough to drive anyone over the edge, but now add the little 'brats' that torment her constantly. Cortlyn and Oscar. Cortlyn has always been jealous of Jane and her friendship with Adam, the boy next door. Oscar actually likes having another sister, but he always sides with his twin, he'd never admit to it. And Adam? He loves Jane, like loves, loves Jane, but of course she's completely clueless, after all it is her best friend...her only friend. But the real trouble starts when Jane finally stands up for her self, what's this crazy family going to do to her next?
