Things are about to change in Shirleys life

Chapter Seven – Slow awakenings!

(Jessie.)

I sat beside my mom as silence filled the car. I really didn’t know what to talk about, I can tell that like always mom was trying her best.
“So, what’s bothering you? I can tell there’s something in your mind,” mom said her eyes on the road and catching me by surprise. Does she know? I mean my mom is very smart and it’s impossible to trick her.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” My dad asked me for the fifteenth time already. I can’t blame him, though. I wasn’t very sure of my decision, but I had to do this. I have had enough of Dicky and Peter. My asshole, older half-brothers, they hate my guts. I don’t even know what I have ever done to them. And yes, we’re half-brothers.

What me, a Foster Carer?

(Preface by The Author.)

Will Scott was only ten when his life changed forever. His family were poor farmers and were always looking for ways to improve their fortunes. Luckily, Will had begun to show some talent for singing. In particular, his high voice made him particularly valuable. This is it, his parents thought. Their ticket out of their meager lives. Unfortunately, they knew puberty would soon come along and ruin his perfect, angelic voice. As a deep-voiced man, he would still be a talented singer, but he wouldn't be as popular.
