Elizabeth West has had a rough couple of years and has a hard time holding on. After discovering Elizabeth got emancipated when she turned 16, the Cullen family takes her in to be a part of their family and help her battle the depression she's in. This is a story about family. No romance. Just the issues that mental health problems can bring and the involvement of family in that persons life. P.S The vampires do not 'shine bright like a diamond' when a drop of sun hits their skin. P.P.S. I don't have knowledge about the American school system, since I am Dutch. Everything is written from my Dutch perspective and might not be accurate with the reality in America. If you have any tips/suggestions about anything in this story, please let me know so I can edit this :)
