Family Is Chosen

(Before you read the summary, I want to apologize for it's length and probably uninteresting quality..so I am sorry about that but I do hope you enjoy it!)

One does not choose the family they're born with, sadly. But as life goes on, one comes to realize that if their blood relations fall below the true meaning of family, they still have the option, of the people who really care for them and chose to be part of their lives as sources of care and support. As all people differ from one another, so do the sources of these ramshackle families. One could view another's family as abrasive and too rough, and yet another could view a family as dull and oppressive. But each family is true to the people who truly need them. Nothing truer could be said about the family that Chris "Chrissy" Browning, a ragtag street kid, finds herself with.

Living on the streets teaches one to be tough and street smart. While being strong is nice, brawn isn't everything, and Chris has known that for a very, very long time. Having been abandoned as a small child, she grew up learning to think on the run and have a quick mouth and harsh temper. Moral was not something highly valued by other street dwellers, but Chris made it a defining quality as she grew, and she swore to herself to never become like the people that left her to die. Her experience is what has kept her alive these nineteen years and out of the cops hands, it's also what will keep her out of trouble when she gets thrown into a whole new world...

And a new set of problems...
