For all of her thirteen years, Maria has survived the unforgiving streets of one of America's toughest neighborhoods. Behind closed doors, her foster home is no better-ruled by the cruel hands of a man who never gave her love, only bruises. Yet in the cracks of that broken world, Maria becomes something rare: a light in the darkness. Known on the streets as Daisy, a name whispered with respect and warmth, she uses the little she earns tutoring struggling kids to buy supplies, food, and hope for those even more forgotten than she is.
But when her foster parent suddenly dies, Maria is ripped from the only life she's ever known and thrust into one she never imagined-into the care of a mother she never met, and seven older brothers she didn't know existed. They live in a house with enough walls to echo, enough secrets to drown in, and more love than Maria knows what to do with.
Now, as Maria navigates new dreams, unfamiliar safety, and the confusion of trying to belong, she begins to unravel a family history darker than her own past-and a future that might finally be hers, if she's brave enough to claim it.
Daisy Among Thorns is a powerful story of resilience, found family, and the quiet strength of a girl who has always fought for others-now learning how to fight for herself.

Shadows of a broken heart
Prologue: (Completed) The girl who once dreamed of freedom now knows nothing but survival. Every day is a fight against the darkness that haunts her, a fight against the fists of a father and the cold cruelty of a stepmother. The home that should have been a sanctuary is instead a prison, and she is its unwilling captive. From a young age, she learned to shut off her emotions, to block out the pain, because if she didn't, it would swallow her whole. In the silence of the house, where every corner is filled with fear, she is nothing more than a shadow, invisible and ignored, except when they need someone to blame. But buried beneath the numbness, a flicker of something remains-something that refuses to die. A longing for a life beyond this suffocating world. She doesn't know it yet, but salvation is on the way. One day, a secret is uncovered: the family she's known her whole life isn't hers at all. There's another family out there, a powerful one, a mafia family, who has been searching for her. They're ready to take her in, to protect her, to give her a life she never imagined possible. But trust doesn't come easy for a girl who's been broken. And even in the arms of a family that loves her, the ghosts of her past will not let her go. The road ahead will be filled with tension, secrets, and the undeniable pull of revenge. She's been taught to feel nothing, but to heal, she must learn to feel again.
