RESILIENCE | BOOK 1 ✍︎

Being in a group home wasn't ideal for anyone, but for the six teenagers, it was the best they could get out of the crappy system. In other's eyes, it was an odd way to form a friend group bonding over being in the same abusive home. But in their eyes, the world had brought them together, they were each other's lifesavers ever since they all came together at fourteen

Now sixteen their lives are harder than ever. With their caretakers' hits being more frequent and harder, the bills piling up, and the emotional toll of living in that environment, they were all on edge--especially Walker, the group's honorary leader.

One day it was just them and the next a new addition is added to their friend group. Leo Ricci, the heir of a business empire. He switched schools due to the relentless bullying at his others. Leo is thrilled to be joining a group, to be a part of something finally. But his new friends have a secret, and once he finds out, he's determined to get them out of the toxic environment they were put in.
