Leia is an avid reader, diving into a wide variety of books and often finishing over 400 pages within just 2 to 5 days. However, her love for reading stands in stark contrast to her difficult upbringing. After witnessing years of domestic violence from her father towards her mother, the Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) became involved in her life. Leia spent some time in foster care before her father regained custody of her. Meanwhile, her mother has worked hard to turn her life around, becoming sober and receiving mental health assistance. She is now actively seeking joint custody of Leia, demonstrating her commitment to rebuilding their relationship.
