Sophia's Sanctuary
Trapped in a life of pain and abuse, 14-year-old Sophia finds an unexpected lifeline. When a brutal beating leaves her near death in the snow, she's rescued and awakens to a truth she never knew: a loving father and six protective brothers. But escaping her past isn't easy, and the shadows of trauma linger. Will Sophia find healing and belonging in this new family, or will the secrets she carries shatter her fragile peace?
The pain in your ribs is a constant, biting reminder of Andrew's cruelty. You stumble through the freezing snow, every breath a sharp ache in your chest. The woods are dark and silent, a terrifying contrast to the slamming door and drunken shouts you left behind. You push forward, adrenaline your only fuel, until the cold seeps into your bones and the world begins to fade.
Falling into the white expanse, the last thing you feel is the icy bite of the snow against your cheek before consciousness slips away.
