"In the heart of chaos, we find our strength." Growing up in the shadow of addiction, loss, and broken promises, two siblings navigate a world filled with instability and hardship. From nights spent hiding from fights, to walking miles just to find a place to call home, this is a story of survival, resilience, and the unbreakable bond of family. As one sister assumes the role of protector and caretaker, she learns that even in the darkest moments, there are glimmers of hope. Through the kindness of strangers and the strength of unexpected allies, she fights to break free from a cycle of poverty and addiction that threatens to consume them both. Heartbreaking yet hopeful, this memoir takes readers on a journey through the realities of growing up in a world that is far from perfect-and the courage it takes to rise above it.
