The Day My Family Left Me to Die

Wren is betrayed by the people she trusted most—her negotiator brother, her fiancé, and even her doctor mother, all siding with Ivy. Left to suffer for three days, she bleeds to death before anyone truly listens. Only intern Mia believes something is wrong. But when Wren wakes again, she is June, a silent nine-year-old born into a poor yet loving family. A flashlight-carrying brother helps her voice find its way, and a spirited little sister teaches her how to want again. Little by little, June learns the words she was never allowed to speak: "It hurts."
