Description

They took her childhood, but they couldn’t take her voice.

At ten years old, Ivy Schrock’s world is shattered when her father’s abuse leaves her hospitalized and torn from her Amish home. Thrust into the foster care system, she is forced to navigate a string of families where survival is never guaranteed. Each placement erodes her trust, yet she slowly learns the strength of independence and the fragile power of friendship.

As Ivy grows, the scars of her past refuse to fade. As a new passion offers a way forward, old shadows resurface, threatening to pull her back under. Heartbreak and betrayal sharpen the questions she cannot escape: Where does she belong, and how much of her past can she leave behind?

Through resilience and courage, Ivy is determined to forge a life of her own, opening her heart to love, friendship, and a future she never thought possible.
