Series Introduction
They were the children no one wanted — left behind, cast aside, forgotten by the very systems meant to protect them.
Children from the Streets is a raw and powerful six-book saga exploring what happens to those that society overlooks and how they find the strength to survive. Where pain is met with unexpected love.

Trauma & Healing — raw and real journeys through hardship
Loyalty & Betrayal — when trust is shattered, who do you turn to
