RUNAWAY

She couldn't help but feel unwanted, unloved. Nina abused her, called her ugly and lazy. Benny said she was damaged goods; no man would love a cripple with those scars. Nina tried to give her away and Benny almost took her. Escaping the clutches of another man, there was only one thing left to do... 

The people around think she's a runaway and put her in a group home. Foster care seemed scary, but anything was better than living with Nina. The girl finds sweet solace in playing the piano: a talent that comes naturally, easily, and floods her soul with peace. It becomes the only place she feels safe. Nina's coming for her. Will she have to escape again?

Over two million children are thrown away or run away every year in the USA. This story depicts the journey of one child. Would someone step in to help? Or to hurt?
