Steve had an extremely difficult life in foster care. Growing up, he had to fight for so many opportunities that I have taken for granted, including reading a book. His voice is raw and honest. I am glad he was able to pivot and use it for good.
Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for the ARC.

First of all I sincerely hope that no one has to go through what the main character Steve went through and if someone does then please do contact the concerned authorities :).
This book highlights the life of an orphan who was abused by his foster family. It showed the way he never lost hope and threw light on emotional and physical abuse, how just some words can hurt and break you, and some words can build you into who you are.
Its touching how the protagonist finds sanctuary in books and how they inspire him.
The main part definitely has to be how Robinsons' fooled all the social workers and how the ones who knew were afraid to speak up, and that has to change.
I'm glad that the author was finally able to come out an tell the truth and inform his social workers, and that he found his family!
I love how in the end Steve choose to help others like him!
And the questions at the end of each chapter are relatable and nice!
It's a must read for all people!
