At just four years old, she was thrown out of her home by her father, abandoned and left to fend for herself. She spent her first year with her mother, only to lose her to tragedy. What followed was years of horror-kidnapped by a fake family who promised love but brought nothing but pain. They were abusive, manipulative, and merciless, subjecting her to violence and torment.
By the time she was twelve, she found herself alone in an orphanage after killing her captors in self-defense, the only way she could escape the torment. Now, with a shattered past and the weight of trauma, her life is about to change.
Twelve siblings-ten overprotective brothers and one fierce sister-have come into her life, offering a second chance, a new family, and the promise of safety. But trust doesn't come easily, and the shadows of her past linger. Will she learn to love again, or will the darkness continue to consume her?
The Girl Who Survived is a story of pain, redemption, family bonds, and revenge. A story of a girl who fought her way out of the ashes and must now navigate the complexities of loyalty, betrayal, and healing.
Let's see what happens next.
Saving the life of the infamous rookie pirate, Captain Ruben Kirk, catapults Jessica Red into a sea of magic, jewel heists, and world-saving adventure.
