For eleven years, Lily Grey has called a girls’ home her home. She arrived there just days before her fifth birthday—a frightened little girl with nowhere else to go. Since then, she’s learned not to get too attached. Not to unpack too much. Not to trust too easily. Because every family eventually sends her back. Now, at sixteen, Lily has finally stopped hoping for a family of her own. She has Mrs. Porter, the girls who have become like sisters. Maybe that’s enough. Until Carter and Addison Anderson walk through the doors. They have two young sons, a beautiful home, and a place they say is waiting for Lily. But she has learned that being wanted and being kept are two very different things. As she steps into a family she never expected to have, she has to face the fears she’s spent her entire life running from—and decide whether she’s willing to believe that maybe, just maybe, she was never too broken to be loved. Because sometimes the hardest part of finding a home… is believing you’re allowed to stay.
