The Wildflower Quartet, Star's story

So over the past couple nights, I was able to complete the first 5 chapters of Star's story. Star is much different from Misty, she is black, and is being raised by her grandmother in a poor part of town (Misty was very rich). Star was raised in a home where it was normal for her mom to go out drinking, and leave her in charge of her brother for hours. After many issues with her moms drinking, her dad left them all- never to return. This made her moms drinking even worse, and  Star made more frequent trips to see her grandmother. Star's mom and her (new) step-dad decided to take a trip for a weekend without the kids and left them with their grandmother, while they were gone they were evicted from their apartment. Her mother knew what was going to happen, and decided to leave the kids with their grandma, and left things that way. I left off here, to wonder what kinds of trouble Star got into, because she had mentioned that the therapy was court ordered, and the state payed for it... I don't really like Star's story all that much, there is a lot of child abuse involved, and it is really depressing, where Misty's story was depressing, but it still had humor in it.
