Left to care for her siblings with little resources, she battles daily against the harsh reality of poverty. Her days are filled with juggling odd jobs, trying to provide the basic necessities for her family. But Cara's spirit remains unbroken, and her love for her siblings shines through every decision she makes.
Enter Marcus Donnelly, a man with a troubled past and a heart hardened by betrayal.
