Summary
"It wasn’t abuse. It wasn’t. No, you needed to learn how to be a good daughter, and after Kara arrived, a good sister. And after that, it became a deserving punishment because it was your fault you never get to see your father again, and Kara lost yet again another family member so soon, your fault your mother’s so angry. Your fault for this hurricane in your head."
Alex has a shitload of trauma to go through. Thanksgiving has a way of bringing it all up and there's no way Maggie isn't going to notice.

Lillian always stripped everything from your life that ever seemed to make you smile but you managed to hide this one in your school bag as you creeped your way up the stairs. You waited until it was the middle of the night to stick it up on your wall, all uneven and bent, tape sticking out at all the corners, but it was yours."
Snapshots of Lena's life as she learns and grows and finally finds herself a part of a family that loves her.
You can let it go
You can throw a party full of everyone you know

You don't have to be sorry for leavin' and growin' upSeries

Summary
“I don’t know how to make people stay,” Lena says quietly, words she never uttered aloud until now.
She spent so much of her life thinking that she was not enough, not enough to save her mother, not enough to make Lillian not hate her. Not enough to not make her brother want her dead.”
Alex drags Lena out to dinner and tries to convince her that she has a family now, one that will always have her back. She comes home to cuddle piles and tea, and finally, she decides to believe.
