I hesitated reading this since I had worked with children for 25 years as a teacher and a counselor. I am satisfied to say that in all that time there were fewer than a handful that had experienced some level of the torture and trauma Nick had lived.  Because I never knew them as adults, I was not aware if their lives had progressed as the main character and his supporting cast.  It is my hope that any and every child who has had the unfortunate circumstances described in this book forced upon them, has persevered to achieve whatever makes them live happily ever after. THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. THESE THINGS DO HAPPEN.
