"Every act of charity conceals some form of evil."
Kelsey Ortega was back on her bare feet with nothing but herself after being cleansed of alcohol and released from rehab. While browsing the internet, she came across The Sainthouse, a good home for homeless people. The owner of it was Adeline Sainthouse, a well-known nurse who was a loving wife to her paralyzed husband and a gentle mother to her lovely daughter. Kelsey eventually decided to live there, and she was welcomed and even hired as Adeline's daughter's babysitter. While Adeline continued to amuse them with her natural kindness, Kelsey met new faces in the house with similar dark pasts, making her feel loved, understood, and relate to them. She then realized she was getting too comfortable and didn't want to leave the place. However, something started going on inside the house as time passed. Things were getting out of place for unknown reasons, Kelsey heard sounds but didn't know where they came from, and shadows appeared but quickly vanished. People inside the house began to act strangely. But Adeline remained the sweet lady she had always been, and Kelsey began to suspect she was going insane.

But this was about to change, though she had no idea that her life was going to change. Soon, the universe would disrupt her quiet life. Shadows from a past she didn't know existed were closing in, bringing both new connections and painful truths.

Shattered
⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13Complete
