A life's story of heartrending loss, heart-pounding danger, and heartwarming love.
"Filled with exciting twists and insights."-D. Donovan,
Midwest Book Review
Lucas wants to be a firefighter, just like his hero from second grade, Firefighter Andy Garrett. But Lucas's teenage years are a battleground, making his future far from certain. Orphaned at a young age, he endures the relentless upheaval of being shuffled from one foster home to another, each new school a fresh reminder of his isolation.
In his latest school, Lucas witnesses a girl being bullied and, driven by an unwavering sense of justice, steps in to defend her-an act of bravery that places him directly in the crosshairs of Joel De Grey and his ruthless friends. Despite the escalating threats and violence, this confrontation unexpectedly paves the way to a place Lucas has only ever dreamed of: a true home and a loving family.
But as he embraces this newfound hope, he can't shake the nagging doubt-could his dream really come true, or is it just another cruel twist of fate?
