My Life Beyond The Glass

Eliza Hoffman is a genius. Literally. She won the national spelling bee at 3 years old. 6 years old, her iq was 173. She was happy. She was loved. Or so she thought.

Then she was alone. Rejected. Abandoned. Her parents took all the money she had won from contests and ran off to who knows where and left their only child to an uncertain fate in foster care.

For 8 years, she has been shuffled around dozens of households that care about her as much as they would care about an infestation of pests in their homes. Which is what she is to them. A pest. And the now 14-year-old Eliza is sick of it.

But she has a chance. The Darcey family. The one family that cares about her has lifted her burden. She is wanted. She is loved. She once again has a family that genuinely cares about her.

But she can't be protected forever. She cannot be protected her from the pain of her past and the horrors in her future. Will she ever be able to find happiness? When will the universe stop hating her?
