Spring Breeze Caresses the Wild Grass

The daughter of a human trafficker and a kidnapped heiress, Lynn is taken in by her mother's family, the Wentworths, only to be cast out. Her mother, broken and unable to recognize her, is sent away, and her grandfather, Connor, and the rest of the family refuse to keep a child with such blood. She is enrolled at a prestigious boarding school and left to fend for herself.

There, the school's bullies, Jax, Gabe, and Porky, force her to eat from a dog bowl as a cruel lesson. But Lynn, who has known real terror and hunger, finds the food delicious and devours it. When Bianca and other students begin dumping their unwanted lunches into her bowl, the humiliation turns into something else entirely.

Starving and alone, Lynn clings to the one thing she has: survival. But the scars of her past and the cruelty of those around her are far from over.
