Fifteen-year-old Ashlyn Myers has never known love-only pain, neglect, and loss. While her twin sister, Abigail, grew up sheltered and cherished, Ashlyn bore the full weight of their mother's cruelty, their stepfather's abuse, and the brutal indifference of the foster system. Time and again, she's been told-through actions and silence-that she doesn't matter.

Abigail is everything Ashlyn isn't: gentle, adored, untouched by the horrors that shaped her sister. But Ashlyn protected her at a cost, absorbing every blow the world had to offer.

When their latest foster dad is arrested, the twins are taken to a police station-and discover a shocking truth: they have a father and brothers who the girls never knew existed. For the first time, Ashlyn is faced with the possibility of being truly seen, truly wanted. But can years of damage be undone? Can love reach someone who's built walls of steel just to survive?

The Unwanted Twin is a raw, emotional story about trauma, sisterhood, and the difficult road toward healing. It asks the heartbreaking question: what happens to a girl when she's never been given a reason to believe she matters?

Yours Truly, Ramona by _nicolemiller
43 parts Complete Mature
Life doesn't abide by the rules of a child. Sixteen-year-old Ramona knows this. She's seen it throughout her entire life, from the way she was treated by her birth parents to the way she was thrown around the foster system with nothing but her little brother, Mason, to hold onto. Every bruised cheek and broken bone has slowly shattered Ramona's trust in the system and any foster parent she's ever met. In the end, it's only Mason she can trust. Her life is dedicated to making his better, and focused solely on sheltering him from the pain of feeling as lonely as she is. That is, until Ramona gets news one day that may just uproot everything she's ever believed about her and Mason's situation. Everything is about change for Mason, all because of a man named Owen Parker. He wants to take the only thing that Ramona has ever truly loved. He wants to adopt her brother, and there is nothing she can do to stop him. Though after years of running and years of pain, Ramona knows just how badly Mason needs a home. It's a breath of fresh air for him, a family filled with love, and everything that Mason has never had. But then, what about Ramona? She's brotherless, parentless, and alone in a city that has never cared about her. She has to find a way to cope, and she has to find a way to forgive the man who took her little boy from her. But she can't cope, she can't forgive, and she can only bend so many times before she breaks. - - Warning: This story deals with mature content that may be difficult for some to read, such as self-harm, suicide, drug use, abuse, depression, anxiety, and sexual harassment. - - Highest Ranks: |#1| - adopted |#1| - fosterkid |#1| - fostercare |#1| - foster |#1| - suicideawareness |#1| - recovery |#1| - comingofage |#1| - mentalillness |#1| - strength |#2| - adoption
