Less Than Humble Beginnings by Chelsea Falin

Willie has long been shielded from her own culture by her mother, but when circumstances change, she's thrown into what she was once shielded from - only to find it's nothing like she once believed.

Less than humble beginnings

Willie and Babette have long long been shielded from their own culture and heritage by their mother. When circumstances change, the girls are thrown into what they were once shielded from - only to find it is nothing like they once believed.

While Babette adjusts easily, Willie finds herself much more hesitant. While she struggles to find her true self, Willie is forced to learn she is not the only one suffering from "Less Than Humble Beginnings."

"Try to remember everyone here has their demons, but we put those demons to good use. Make ourselves better, stronger, wiser."
- Jack
