The Heart Of Rucas

Riley gets a giant surprise for her 16th birthday. It's the best, yet worse thing that's ever happened for it. IT was not a mistake, the timing was. Riley loves the surprise, with the most love she could ever feel. No matter what the circumstances. But, as she gets older, Riley finds that her problems grow, and that she doesn't really have power over everything. She finds that there are things such as teen pregnancy, affairs, abuse, fostering, even if these are or aren't experienced first had. But there are these few little things, the things that make Riley happy, in a world of fear, anger, lies, and sadness. And the most surprising thing started it all, what was that? Well, it was the heart of Rucas.
