Review
I was invested from the get-go. This novel is a great example of the struggles not just a single person, but a family can go through. Sometimes you have to be able to take a step back and take a deeper look and find out why you were put in the position. That is what really came through this book for me. It also goes to show you can't always do it alone.
Matt Parker's writing style is smooth and effortless. I felt like I was in his head and that is a huge testament to his writing ability. Powerful and Emotional and Inspiring. It really gives you a new light on those who are in the position he is in.
