DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn September of 1999, my only sister, Sherry Jean Leighty, was dropped off at work to never be seen again. Rumors were she left town with a boyfriend and they were heading to Maine. Just one problem; she had three young children that she left behind. How does a young mother leave the only life she's known? None of this made any sense. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and months into years, with no word from Sherry. It would take almost thirteen years, after investigating on my own, for our local police department to finally look into my sister's disappearance. I lost more than my sister in 1999; I lost my faith in law enforcement and ultimately the criminal justice system. My name is Shelly Nagle and Sherry Leighty is my sister. Through a sister's eyes, is my personal journey to find the truth-a lot of perseverance, determination, and love for a sister, would finally lead to answers.

Maggie welcomes the three children into her home, and is touched by the gentle care Leo shows to the two little girls. It is clear that Lexie and Amelie adore their big brother, and rely on him for comfort and reassurance. But Leo has experienced the neglect and abuse of his mother and her partner for far longer than his sisters, and is struggling with an eating disorder and showing signs of OCD. When Social Services begin to look at adoptive families for the children, Maggie is horrified when they suggest that the two angelic little girls will have a much better chance of being adopted without their damaged older brother. Knowing the impact that losing his sisters forever will have on vulnerable Leo, they face the ultimate dilemma. Should the children stay together and dash the hope of them ever having a forever family? Or do they sacrifice the close bond between the siblings to give the girls a chance to be adopted?
