A short introduction

A humorous, heart-warming story. Seventeen-year-old Aurora Derubati has a step-sister she never knew about who plunges the family into financial problems. Aurora is left homeless with her younger siblings, relying on strangers in the dangerous streets of Sicily, Italy. 

Until she meets Adrién. 

He's different from all her caretakers and makes her safety and security priority... only a little too close.  

Aurora has her first crush. She is a sapiosexual and is ambivalent about her first love. Adrien is madly in love with her and jealous of her date.  

One Christmas Eve reveals who her true love is.
