Prologue

Lauren is almost two years old when her life begins.

Having been in foster home to foster home, anyone who knew Lauren could say that she wasn't happy.
How could she be? They abused her. Not always physically. They neglected her. Wouldn't feed her. Wouldn't change her. Nothing. Lauren is severely delayed. Only weighing a little under half of what she's supposed to. The sized of an infant rather than a toddler. How much more can she take?

Normani and Dinah weren't supposed to get the call. They haven't had any placements since they adopted their youngest daughter. But did fate bring Lauren to them?
