My Whole Life

Anna Mercer, 18, is systematically sacrificed by her family for adopted sister Lily—from a shared bed to a windowless closet. Rejecting a full scholarship, she secretly joins a 7-year UN aid project in Africa. When her family discovers Lily's father's "accident" was self-inflicted insurance fraud, they travel to Africa begging her return. Anna refuses, having finally found a life that is truly her own.
