"Maybe that's why my foster parents were so bad... they were easily persuaded by anyone who had the combination of a pretty face, charisma and spoke of world harmony. They let me go with her."

Edna James never had a lot of faith in the law. The law allowed her parents to keep her in their custody, the law allowed her family to forget her, and the law allowed her to be bounced between foster homes for years. 

But the law also gave her Susannah, the only guardian that ever seemed to care about her. For a year, Edna had almost convinced herself that everything before had just been a dream. For awhile it worked, but that was until two Child Services agents showed up and told Edna she had to leave. Their reason? Underage parenting is a crime.

1 part Complete
I live in a world where I am nameless. I live in a world where I do not matter except or unless I am owned by someone. I do not have rights, freedoms, joys, wishes, or aspirations. I am property. I was born and raised to belong to someone that will one day take me away like the fairy tale stories that I listened to everyday in the house I live in. I prayed every night that a handsome prince would come and take me to live in his castle just like in the books. I prayed that I would be a princess and have a kingdom just like in the books. But I was never told that the books were all lies. I was never told the true reason why I was a well sought after commodity. I was never told that I am not the only one like me. When I found out it was too late to save myself. To think and in less than 4 days I will be taken away from my current home and be in a home of my own. I sat on the simple wooden bed hoping that my owner was nice and kind. I hated to think about some of the stories that I heard about the other girls like me. I hated thinking about being exterminated because I made my owner unhappy. I thought to myself that I would try real hard to keep him happy. I remember the covenant of rules that would keep me and my owner happy. I would need to follow five rules. 1. Always obey my owner. 2. Always be available to my owner. 3. Never talk back. 4. Always agree with my owner. 5. I am not human so I cannot do human things. I wondered how pretty human women were. I was so nervous about my departure I nearly refused to leave my room. I could leave if there wasn’t anything wrong with me physically. I remember the den mother telling me not to do anything that would cause a refund or else I would be exterminated upon refund. My new owner had thirty days to return me. If he returned me and no one else was interested I would be exterminated. I would be killed because it would be thought that I was defective and no one would want a defective product.

Madeline Davis returns to the town in which she was born. At the age of three, she was sent to an orphanage due to her parent's death, where she grew up surrounded by stringent rules and harsh punishments. At twelve, someone finally adopted her, and she had a family, even an older brother, Oliver. However, it wasn't her family. It wasn't her blood they carried in their veins. And all she had ever wanted was to meet someone who shared her DNA, some part of her real family. All she had ever wanted was to be back at the home she didn't remember. Now she was sixteen and her adoptive family and Madeline were shifting houses. Little did she know the things she would discover in her new town, the people she would meet, the truths she would uncover. How just in a matter of months so much changed in her life. And now she was left to wonder if it would have been better if she had never come home at all.
