Spilled Milk by K.L Randis

Young Brooke Nolan navigates the dangerous waters of a broken social service agency who is working to keep her abusive father in the house, rather than keep her safe. A glass of spilled milk at the dinner time forces Brooke to speak out about her abuse, and in doing so, she risks losing family support, and comes to realize that not everyone wants to be saved.
