Stuck in the Middle (Emily: Story 2)
(Authors Notes: THIS STORY FINISHED)
Thirteen year-old, Emily has always felt caught between two worlds-between who she is and who the world expects her to be, between the mother who hurt her and the strangers who took her in, between survival and the chance at something more. After years of neglect, she finally finds a home with the Blakes, a loving foster family who offers her stability for the first time in her life. But even in a safe place, old wounds don't heal overnight. As she grapples with the trauma of her past and the uncertainty of her future, Emily must learn what it truly means to be part of a family-and to find her own identity in the process. Stuck in the Middle is a raw and emotional journey of healing, self-discovery, and the search for acceptance.
