Summary

Everyone in life is dealt a hand of cards. The player can’t control if they are dealt a good or bad hand but the player can control the outcome if they play their cards right. A bad hand doesn’t automatically mean you lose, it just makes the game harder to play. Rayland was dealt a bad hand. She is a sarcastic and cold girl that has been through a lot in her life. She hasn’t always been like this, she used to be a cheery child until her mother and brother left when she was seven. Her father made her believe that it was her fault they left. One day she gets into a car accident which leaves her father dead and her losing most of her memory. She gets placed with her aunt and abusive boyfriend. When her aunt gets married, she finds out she has 7 step-brothers. Will they change her life for the better or worse?

Sydne: Very heartwarming story. It has real emotions.
