"My life was a facade, a set up of white smiles and gentle hands. But all of it was a lie. My life wasn't perfect, my family was far from innocent and I wanted to know why. All my life they had fed me lies, they had told me that everything was ok, that nothing was wrong, but no longer was I going to swallow their deceit. I was going to figure out where their money came from, why they never spoke business with me, and why there was a private investigator asking me questions about them. I was ready to find out the truth, one way or another." ~ Melanie Greenfield

Melanie grew up in a privileged and lavish life. Never did she have to worry about where her next meal was coming, or whether or not she could afford those new shoes. But as Melanie soon learns, dirty money is worse than no money at all. Her family is scheming behind her back, and soon people are going missing and Melanie is starting to believe that her family has a part in it.

All it takes is one crack to make a glass shatter, and Melanie Greenfield discovers that her family is so close to breaking. Their lies and deceit are coming to light, and Melanie may just be the one to add that final crack, that finally miniscule mark, that leads to her family's downfall. 
Melanie has to decide what is more important: the truth, or family?

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes? More importantly, what happens when she finds out that she was taught lies from the moment she was born?
