Brianna had started to have trouble in school and he started showing effects of this in class by not caring, and being rude. Theresa and Brianna later find out that Brianna had to repeat second grade. Theresa was heartbroken by this and had no idea what to do. Theresa starts getting together with some of her friends and talks about her problem. Little did she know her friends were also having the same problems with their children.

From the beginning the reader reads about many of the aweful and cruel abuse Dave has to go through and how diffrently he acts because of it. Even starting on page 3, it explains how his mom is doing this to him after the dad left and started working more often. But overtime the reader can wee how Dave overcomes the avuse and is able turn his life around. The way he acts, reacts, or who he is today can/is diffrent or altered because of the expirances he had growing up. Compared to the way he could or would act if he didnt go through

The police told David he had to call his mom and David begged for him not to but he told him he would tell her about how he was going to be taken to jail. This statement was not true of course but David thought he really was being taken to jail until he left with the officer once again and the officer turns to David and tells him he's free and that his mom will never hurt him again. David’s years after consisted of foster home to foster home and when he turned 18 years old he decided to join the Military which was his life-long dream. David never contacted his family, or mainly his mother, ever again. He didn't wish to speak to them for that matter and never did. David was finally happy with his life and away from his miserable mother and family. To me this book is sad but it is an amazing example of how our own spirit can provide strength and hope in the worst situations. David's spirit and hope for a better tomorrow helped him to survive through his mother's emotional and physical abuse he received for years. David absolutely refused to let his mother win. He had no one to help him or lean on so he learned how to fend for himself. His profound courage and determination saved him along with help finally from teachers, the nurse and the police officer.

The reading starts with Scott and his journey. I was happy to read that Scott started to live with his friends, David and Anna. They were both sober, they wanted to help look out for Scott. It was disappointing to read that Scott was framed by David and Anna’s adult son, Oscar. When David and Anna kicked Scott out of the house, I knew Scott was going to start using again.
