But Jim wasn’t dead. She was just in hiding. This 12-year-old girl was living in a
box in an alley. She had had many challenges she faced: fighting rats, roaches, and
many other pests that tried to invade her home. But she would always win the war. 
   But, this “exciting” life came to an end when the foster care people found
her. She was taken to the home to be cared for. But she hated the rules. 
   She had lived in the box for a year and lived off her allowance, which she had
luckily saved. She was so used to this; she forgot what it was like to live under
rules. 
   Good news came, at least for the Foster home. A foster Family adopted her! She was
taken away from that friendless place to what seemed to be a palace. At least, in her
perspective it was. This home was a two-story building with a huge front and back
yard. She couldn’t wait to see her room!
   When she walked in the door, a cute boy, who happened to be the same age as her,
greeted her. But it ended up, he was also her new brother.
