VC Andrews
Hudson #1
*Spoilers
Growing up in the projects of Washington, D.C has never been easy. With her sister trying to prove to the world that shes a grown up, and a brother who is very protective of her, Rain Arnold is just trying to survive. Her mother does what she can to support the family, as her father is not around much, as he's usually out drinking away all the money they have - and when he is around, he's complaining about everything.
Life is getting more difficult as time goes on. Rain's father, Ken, decides that it's time to get more money. What they got the first time was not enough.
When Rain hears this conversation, she is confused... the first time? What is Ken talking about? Her mother then explains that they were paid to take Rain and raise her away from her real family.
After her sister is murdered, and her brother decides to enlist in the army, Rain's mother decides it is time for Rain to go back to her biological family.
Unfortunately, her biological mother cannot reveal the truth about Rain. She is willing to accept her in private, but she cannot tell her husband and children the truth. She sets Rain up at her grandmother's house instead, with the ruse of it being a charity case. Rain settles into her routine at her grandmother's house, and her new school. She even lands herself the lead in the school play on her first day.
Being a V. C Andrew book, it is not without it's share of drama. The heroine is just as strong as those before her. The hurdles she overcomes are big ones. The strength she has is endless. The heartbreak she goes through is powerful and real. A beautiful story.
