Bethany McLawlin has never felt pretty. Beginning in toddler years, she has been over- weight. No one had to tell her why; she knew it was because she was filling the void in her heart with food.
One day, Bethany's mom left her dad, brother, and herself; saying that she couldn't take anotheer kid in her life, that Bethany was too much of a burden. Bethany, being a rather smart three-year-old, unerstood completely what her mother had said. In response to the pain she now felt, Bethany began to eat... and eat... and eat. 
Bethany's dad and brother were worse off than she, her father began drinking and smoking pot while her brother-at 15- took to drug dealing and sex.
It's a safe bet to say that bethany's life took a turn for the worst that day...

Silent Scars

60 parts Ongoing

After enduring years of neglect and cruelty from her mother and stepfather, Ariana's life changes drastically when tragedy brings her under the guardianship of five brothers she's never met and they never even knew they had a sister. For her brothers, learning they have a sister is an unwelcome surprise. Suspicious and reluctant, her brothers see Aria as an outsider, a stranger disrupting the fragile balance of their lives. For Aria, their home is both a new beginning and a constant reminder of the family that left her behind. Haunted by the pain of her past, Aria struggles to adjust, her every action guarded and her trust hard to earn. As her brothers try to understand her, they begin to glimpse the scars she hides and the strength she carries. Little by little, resentment turns to empathy, and the walls between them start to crumble. But just as the siblings begin to find common ground, the secrets and trauma of Aria's old life threaten to tear them apart. Together, they must decide whether they can overcome the shadows of the past to forge a family and whether Aria can finally find a place to belong.
