Somewhere safe

By Emily Drage

"What do you need, Jaden?" she asked.

And for the first time, he didn't know how to answer.

Jaden has been through more foster homes than he can count. Each one promises safety, but all he feels is anger - and he's learned the hard way not to trust anyone.When he's sent to live with the Ortegas, he's sure it'll be the same story. He keeps his walls up, his fists ready, and his heart locked. But Mrs. Ortega doesn't give up, even when he explodes.And then she shows him a quiet room. A place just for him. A place where he can finally feel.Step by step, Jaden begins to see that maybe home isn't just a place you live - it's where someone believes in you, no matter what.

A powerful and heartfelt story about trauma, trust, and the courage it takes to find your safe place.
