In a home where love often arrived disguised as discipline, a young girl grows up carrying questions too heavy for her age. Between quiet resentment, small acts of rebellion, and moments left unspoken, she begins to unravel the fragile bond between pain and affection.
But as time softens old wounds, she realizes that growing up means seeing people beyond their mistakes-including herself.
Tender, emotional, and deeply personal, this is a story about healing, forgiveness, and the quiet ways love survives even the hardest seasons.

My future hangs by fraying strings, and you say, 'hard to say'?" ~Complete![Out of Focus #SYTYCW15 Top10 Finalist! [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/44105613-256-k899417.jpg)
