Summerization

I read a couple of chapter of a book about an abused girl finding hope and learning to trust. In the book a girl named Grace Cooper lost her family in a car accident when she was eight. She was moved from foster home to foster home as she was growing up. Her current home is with a drunk named Jack and his wife named Candy. When Grace turned seventeen Candy died and left her all alone with her abuser Jack. Now Grace is all alone. Grace is smart but she doesn't apply herself and is a loner. At school she is bullied just because she is an easy target. After school she works as a waitress/cook at a local diner. When she returns home she has to make sure everything is perfect for Jack. If the house or supper is not perfect she will face consequences. At home she cooks and cleans. Her only safe haven is an abandoned theatre with an old piano. One day she finds a mysterious boy named Jed in her theatre. She tries to leave but he sees here. No matter what she does Jed continues to come back to the theatre and tries to listen to her play. He sees that she is hiding something but is stubborn and won't let him get close to her in fear of being hurt. The story goes on to Jed coming closer to finding out her secret and Grace continues to experience pain and tries to distance herself. Jed eventually sees the bruises and marks by accident when Grace almost falls while she was working. Grace plays it off like it was an accident and she fell but Jed is smarter than that. That was all I read I can’t wait for the next chapter.
