Wasted Mercy

Everyone thinks they know Meg Griffin - awkward, dramatic, too much.
But what if everything they thought they knew was dead wrong?

Fifteen-year-old Maisie Griffin is starting to remember a life that ended too soon - the life of Mercy Dove Brown, a bold, beautiful Black girl with big dreams and a bigger heart. Now reborn as Meg, she's living a second chance with curves that never go unnoticed, a voice they tried to silence, and a baby they never saw coming.

After a secret pregnancy and a week of explosive gossip, Maisie returns to school not with shame, but with a plan. She's got Hello Kitty nails, a slight weed addiction, a loyal boyfriend, and a mouth that cuts deeper than any rumor, she's stepping into her power-and she's not asking permission.

Her family's fake. Her classmates are sharks. And Lois? She's just another bitter hater in a perfect house made of glass.

This time, Maisie's rewriting the narrative - one savage clapback and one bold choice at a time.

Because wasted mercy is still power. And she's ready to take hers back.
