Synopsis:
Abandoned by her mother at the tender age of three, twelve-year-old Zaria has known little but heartache. Raised in a home shadowed by neglect and cruelty, her father’s new marriage brings no relief—only a cold stepmother who sees her as nothing more than a burden. While her stepsiblings live carefree, Zaria carries the weight of silence, loneliness, and the desperate hope that one day she might find love and belonging.
As she navigates the painful truths of her fractured family, Zaria must summon an inner strength she never knew she had—because sometimes, the hardest battles are fought in the place that’s supposed to be home.
