When the unthinkable happens, nine-year-old Oakley Miller is thrust into a world no child should have to face alone. With her mum in a coma and a trail of buried secrets left behind, Oakley is sent to live with a father she's never met-and four half-brothers who feel more like strangers than family.

But Oakley carries more than just a suitcase.

She carries the weight of what happened.
She carries the truth she's too scared to tell.
And she carries a plan-one she wrote herself-to protect the only person who's ever loved her.

To survive, Oakley must lie.
To protect, she must pretend.
To stay safe, she must not let anyone in.

Not her new family.
Not her social worker.
Not even the quiet boy with glasses who sits beside her at lunch.

But as more darkness begins to grow around her-and questions start to surface-Oakley begins to wonder:

How long can she keep everything hidden?
What happens when her story starts to unravel?

She's only nine.
And the truth?
Might be the most dangerous thing of all.

Because someone out there remembers exactly how the truth ends.

Autumn Secrets ✓ de elza_writes

ꫂ❁ This is the story of six orphans - a woman and five men who have lived together like a family for a long time. Though not related by blood, yet they share that strong bond with each other. Then, one day, it happens. The woman dies, shattering the peace and harmony of their house. Not long after, they come across a mysterious yet intriguing stranger who may want to help them. But, are they really trustworthy? Only time will tell. ⚬─────────✧─────────⚬ Excerpt from the book : She didn't mount on the bike. Instead, she stood there holding the helmet. "My mother had warned me about strangers." I looked at her in confusion. "Okay, so?" "So what's your name?" She asked as if a stranger won't be able to say a fake name at all. Smart little kid. "Levi." She nodded. "Levi, hmm." "Now, can we get going, stranger kid?" "Okay," she said and got on my bike. It seemed like she didn't hear what I had called her. I started the bike and rode off. "Wait, did you call me a kid again?" I chuckled. "Took you long enough." ၄၃
