Chloe had always been the perfect daughter. Diligent, obedient, good at caring for the other children when Mom wasn’t home.



She always worked hard and did everything she was asked.



But she couldn’t please her mother and the parade of stepfathers. It seemed like the harder she tried, the worse the abuse got.



Chloe had known for a long time that she was two people. The Chloe who watched and the Chloe who experienced. She had been watching for so long, she wasn’t sure she could feel anything anymore.



But if she can’t overcome her past and start living in the real world, she knows she will lose herself forever.
