Chapter 1

*Completed, but unedited* Delia, a 13-year-old girl lives with her abusive parents and her eight-year-old twin brothers. She shields them from the cruelties of their parents as much as she can. The twins try to provide her with support but they are all starting to crumble under the pressure.

When their parents get arrested, a DNA test reveals relatives they never knew existed, including siblings. Placed in their oldest brother's care will this be the end of their constant suffering, or will life introduce a whole new form of torture?
