Adrian was supposed to be their miracle child-the one they chose when they couldn't have their own. For two years, he believed he was loved. Then his mother became pregnant. Then came the bottles. Then came the fists. Now Adrian is nothing more than a shield. A boy with scars across his body and rage burning in his chest, standing between his violent parents and the three little sisters who depend on him for everything. He'll take every blow, every insult, every wound. He'll fight, endure, and bleed if it means they can smile. But as his sisters grow, and as his temper grows darker, Adrian must face the truth: The world may fear the man he's becoming. But without him, his sisters may not survive at all.
