Tokens Of My Confection
Life hasn’t been easy for Cady Caldwell, struggling first with her drug-addicted parents, then mistreated by the husband she though would be her savior.

It seems that her two younger sisters, and an equally determined grandmother, are hell bent on looking after her. But can they get her to live again?
