Some families look perfect in pictures. But the cracks don't always show until you look a little closer.
In Needle in the Picture Frame, a young girl navigates the emotional aftermath of growing up with a father who struggles with addiction. Through quiet moments and heartbreaking realizations, she tries to hold her family together - for her little brother, for her mother, and for herself.
Told in ten raw, tender chapters, this story explores what it means to love someone who can't always show up. It's about waiting by windows, hiding hurt behind dance parties, and finding hope in the small moments that manage to shine through the pain.
This is a story of grief and healing, of loyalty and quiet strength. But most of all, it's a story of love - the complicated kind, the unconditional kind, the kind that lasts even after goodbye.
