Allison, also known as Ali, was raised in an orphanage with many others - babies born by addicts, or adults with less-than-desirable histories - children deemed by society as outcasts. Of course, there were many like her - outgoing, albeit a bit socially awkward at times, with interests in music and creativity. Such like-minded children included one of her best friends, Jake Ward. Having been in the orphanage for as long as she could remember, Ali grew restless, anxious, and eventually, hopeless. Parents looking for children to adopt came and went, yet none seemed too interested in her.
However, her hopelessness would suddenly change when both her and Jake were given the best news of their lives - a chance to start anew; a chance given to them by an unlikely, yet very much welcomed, individual.
