Samuel Simms is an intelligent, sweet-natured boy whose life is in havoc after a family tragedy that occurred in the previous book of this series. Living in an orphanage is not easy. What's worse is what happened before the orphanage in the hands of foster parents.After revealing the truth to his aunt and law enforcement about the abuse endured under his foster father, Samuel's life becomes even more turbulent. The horrors of the abuse will never be forgotten. Now he has to prove himself in a court of law when the foster father is an adamant liar. With people on his side and an inner strength that becomes more apparent, Samuel's case and his future are still on the line.This is a powerful read, although not easy because a child has been abused. I was hooked reading this and read it in a day. I found it even more engaging than book 1 and look forward to the next book in the series.
