--------------------------

Family as defined in Lilo and Stitch is something in which nobody gets left behind or forgotten, but what if you never had a family in the first place. Alessia 'Sia', always thought she never had a family and her only family was Max, whom she grew up with in the Goodwill Orphanage. What if one day two men come to the orphanage and demand to see Max and Sia claiming that they were family. 

What if you were told that your best friend and someone you considered as close as family was actually your twin. What if you went from thinking that you had no family to later, much later discovering that you do in fact have a big family with 6 older brothers, 3 pairs of uncles and aunts and 12 elder cousin brothers. 

In a big family of only male species, follow Sia through a journey of love, happiness, heartbreak, and most importantly FAMILY. Where Sia finds her true self, with the support of her family as she's always wanted. Will they be the safe haven she's always needed, or will they become so over-protective of her, that they've unknowingly put her in a locked cage. 

Will she be able to get rid of her inner fears and her inner demons before it is too late, or will she go down a path of bloodlust and rage. Will the monsters of her past get to her, or will her family and boyfriend protect her from all the drama that was waiting to be unraveled.

Ever since her oldest brothers revealed some of the truth about their family's past, the 12-year-old soon-to-be-teenager is struggling to come to terms with all the new and partially heart-breaking information. For the first few months of the year, Lily has tried to stay true to her word and not dig any further into their past, at least not until Alex, her guardian, is willing to share more details with the younger kids. However, Lily's patience is slowly running out. So many things are occupying her mind. She is convinced that there is still a lot more to discover about her family, and she is not willing to wait much longer. What is their father's story and can she locate him? How did her sister die? When will she see Finn again? Why is Sean really moving back home? And what is the reason behind her brothers' weirdly secretive behavior? With the help from her friends and some of her siblings, Lily continues her journey of gradually unravelling her family's secrets. Will she be successful? Will the implications of her discoveries slowly dissolve her family or is she able to save these fragile relationships before it is too late? Join Lily once again as she juggles school, friends, family (meetings), the general challenges of growing-up, creepy stalkers, some tragedies and maybe even her first encounter with something akin to a crush in these rather eventful months of her life.
