Gia's begins with a choice, between the unthinkable and her twin brother's life. She did what she thought was best and lives with the consequences. Now, the secrets rule... Splitting time between divorced parents, she struggles to protect her beloved twin from one home's rigid morality and the other's horrific abuse. But Gia has nowhere to turn for safety, so she turns instead into a savage mean girl. As the abuse escalates in both homes, the haunted girl discovers hurting others isn't enough... and turns her fury upon herself. Gia is a mean girl and it's time her side of the story be told... In this agonizing page-turner, Lucy H. Delaney explores the effects of adverse childhood experiences.
