Prologue

Riley feels like she's trapped in her adoption center. Her roommate hates her, and she's been in the center for 12 years without being adopted. When one of her idols adopts her, she can't help but feel joyful at the fact she's finally going to have a permanent home. But will all the safety, mental, and physical risks be worth the joy in the end? She doesn't know. But maybe you do, and maybe you'll stay long enough for her to finish telling her story.
