"Three voices. One spotlight. And a price higher than any stage can pay."
Fourteen-year-old Marleny Blackwood thought her hardest days were behind her, surviving the foster system, finding her father, and facing down the O'Dare girl. She thought those were the hardest battle she'd ever fight. She was wrong. -It's when a song her best friend and her write goes viral overnight.
Now Mari, Wolfie, Miah and Cassie are thrown into a storm of fame, scrutiny, and judgment. Suddenly, the girls are fighting more than internet trolls-they're up against fatphobia, racism, sexism, and the small-town spotlight, the girls must fight to stay grounded, sane, and seen.
This isn't a fairy-tale rise to fame. It's messy, raw, and real-a story of four girls clawing their way out of darkness with nothing but their bond, their pain, and the fire to be heard.
⚠️ Trigger Warnings: Contains corporal punishment/spanking of minors, bullying, racism, fatphobia, sexism, death, child loss, substance abuse, trauma, and messy family drama. Readers proceed with caution.
Shoutout to @AMDB81 's Elle she is my inspiration for Marleny

The Long Road Home|| COMPLETE
Thirteen-year-old Marleny "Mari" Phoenix Knight isn't afraid of cops, consequences, or correction. She's been raised by chaos, hardened by the city, and stitched together with spite. But after one too many run-ins with the law, and the loss of her mother, Mari's last strike sends her somewhere worse than juvie: a Tennessee ranch owned by the father she thought had abandoned her, and the half-sister she never wanted to know. Out here, silence speaks louder than shouting. Consequences don't come with warnings-they come with corner time, work gloves, and the sting of a belt. Her name ain't just mud-it's fire, history, and blood running deeper than the dirt beneath her boots. They say the land don't lie.
