But can she really trust someone with her biggest secret?
Prologue
RUNNING
Most of my life had been spent on failed attempts to run away, or successful attempts at escaping. Okay, so maybe that doesn’t make a lot of sense, but let me explain. When I was a baby I had been dropped off on a church step (how movie-esque), and abandoned by my birth parents. The church burned to the ground shortly after I arrived and I was put into the foster care system, being tossed from house to house after more fires started (hence the successful escapes).
Finally when I was eight years old, I decided to run away, at which point I was caught two blocks away and returned to my “loving” temporary family.
Three houses later at the age of fourteen I managed to escape another fire, and was presumed dead by authorities. I don’t know who they found in the remains of the school that day, but they thought it was me. Whoever it was, I’d like to thank them because they’re the only reason I’ve managed to live free from adult supervision for a year now. I just wished I was free of the black fires.
My name is Grace; a nun gave it to me after she found me in the burned remains of that church.
