Storm Rogers has spent her life waiting.

Not for a ride. Not for a second chance.
For someone-anyone-to finally choose her.

Since the age of five, Storm has been passed from one home to another-foster homes, group homes, hospital rooms-each one a temporary stop in a life that never seems to begin. Every move carries the same quiet message: you are not wanted here.

Told through the raw, unfiltered pages of her journal, Diary of a Throwaway Kid is an intimate portrait of a girl growing up inside a system that was supposed to protect her-and didn't.

Storm's voice is sharp, observant, and unexpectedly funny. She tells the truth the way only someone with nothing left to lose can-cutting through pain with wit, defiance, and moments of aching vulnerability.

But beneath the anger and heartbreak is something far more dangerous:

Hope.

This is a story about what happens when a child is forgotten.
And what it takes to keep believing in love anyway.

Unflinching and deeply human, Diary of a Throwaway Kid is a powerful literary novel about survival, resilience, and the desperate, enduring search for a place to belong.
