Chapter One

Ellie, a fourteen-year-old orphan, has never known a real family. Her biological parents abandoned her when she was eleven months old, leaving her to live out her years at an orphanage in California. Even though the letter left with her said that her parents loved her, she didn't believe it. Surely if they loved her, they wouldn't have left her.

With Demi just coming home from her world tour, she was ready to take a break, but living alone proved to cause Demi more harm than good. After much consideration, she decided what she would do.

Adopt.
