I have always been an afterthought to my biological family, the one that was hidden away. I never in a million years thought they would do me harm.
By chance I am filling in as a nurse in the hospital just outside the city where I meet a mated couple. I am invited to go with them to their home to help their local doctor in the clinics on their farms. After years of feeling lost, I finally feel at home.
I’m unofficially adopted and come to understand the real meaning of family. Family does not always mean blood.

For years I have been the responsible one. Along with my twin sister Amy we have taken over running our family holdings now that our parents have retired.
Amy is happily mated, I have taken on more responsibility giving her time with her new family. I find myself slowly drowning under the pressure of keeping on top of everything.
I know I need help but have no idea where to find the time to get it.
Until the day I walk into my kitchen and find the reason to make time!
