Epilogue

Monica had been right. The week after the hearing, Sandra had come by the house with a sealed envelope.

The adoption papers.

Michelle had signed them immediately and it was official. Chrissy Anderson had become Chrissy Long and she was now part of a family.

Chrissy apologized to Brandi and the two friends remained close. Chrissy did everything she could to help Brandi overcome her cutting and was so proud when Brandi gave it up for good.

Chrissy had kept her promise to Michelle. She told her whenever she felt like she wanted to cut herself, and it was working.

Chrissy never cut herself again.

Chrissy never heard from Jessica again, and the last she had heard, Jessica had moved up to Canada by herself.

Life had never been happier for Chrissy. She never lost faith in God and always trusted Him to help her through hard times.

The truth had set her free; it had brought her the true happiness she had always dreamed of and the love she always desired.

THE END!

Thanks for all the great reviews and the support. Thank you for helping Chrissy through her second adventure.
