In North Carolina there lived a very lonely young lady named Chealise, but many of her friends and family called her "Chea." She was adopted, and she always desired to be loved, needed, and protected which in her later life caused her to make so many unhealthy decisions. Chea always dreamed of a better life, and no matter how hard she tried, so many obstacles would prevent her from accomplishing that dream until that special day she met the love of her life.
