The story
Every single person she loved chose her fragile stepsister. So she stopped begging.
On her wedding day Orton Reed is abandoned, slapped and humiliated in front of everyone, all because her stepsister Lucy is having another crisis. Her fiance, her childhood friend and even her own parents side with Lucy every time. Then Orton learns she is seriously ill, and something in her finally goes quiet. She leaves New York for a remote school in New Mexico to teach and heal, and when the people who hurt her turn up with apologies, she no longer wants them in her life.
