Life happens rarely by rules. It simply happens. To each of us, even Lilly. For her, everything goes well. She wants to get her college degree after she took a year off and meets the charming Kyle. But then her family is torn apart brutally and fate plays - as so often - with marked cards. Lilly's family is not as it seems and Kyle has a secret that could destroy everything. People always say life comes hard and fast. And it's true. My family is the best proof of that. Just like my life. I was often bullied, ridiculed and laughed at. But I didn't mind because I always had someone to look after me. Sadly, nothing lasts forever. Not a protector, even someone's own personality changes. At a certain point, you have to decide who you are and who you want to be. Being completely yourself can take some courage. - Sophia Loren Side note: This is the translation of my german book. It is a finished book, but since translating takes a little bit of time, it might take a while until all chapters are out. They will be put out tho, so no worries there.
