At ten years old, Rosie spent her whole life believing she was unwanted. Hidden away by the only parent she's ever known, she grows up in a home filled with cruelty and secrets. She has no idea that somewhere out there is a father who never knew she existed, a stepmother whose life was built on a complicated truth rather than betrayal, and older half brothers who have never heard her name. When a shocking event turns her world upside down, the secret can no longer stay buried. Suddenly, she's taken in by her father's family-a house full of grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and siblings. As old secrets come to light and relationships are tested, one little girl must decide whether she can believe that she finally belongs. A heartwarming and emotional story about family, healing, and finding a home where you least expect it.

  • The Sister They Left Behind

Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.
