When teacher Roberta Allen, walked into her middle school principal's office, she encountered sisters Valentina and Selena Diaz, who were to be removed from their mother’s home once again by the Department of Families. The girls, after suffering years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of their mother and sexual abuse by their mother’s male friends, are soon to be placed in the care of newly approved foster parents, Roberta and Hal Allen. The Allens must learn how to cope with the state bureaucracy even as Valentina, the younger sister, bonds with her new “Mom” and “Dad.” This is her story of persistence, love and survival as she bravely confronts the people who had brought harm to her in the past.
