I've got this vague theme stuck in my head recently, and I just cannot remember what is it from. There's a girl (aged 8-12), her parents died (probably in an accident). After their death, she was adopted, but her new parent(s?) also died after a while (a year? two years?). Following that, the girl doesn't want anyone to adopt her anymore because she has a huge fear that her next guardians will also die.
I can't remember where I read it (I'm 90% sure it was a written medium). I read it a decade ago or more. It could've been a book, but could have been just as well a magazine article (in the latter case, I'm probably not ever going to find it again; but I'm asking this query in case it was a book/story after all...) Though, it's also possible that I was reading about a TV show/movie's plot. Also, it was NOT horror or thriller, nor did it have anything supernatural going on; the tone was more of a heart-wrenching drama thing. Does anyone know any book or story with a plot like this?
