"Seven Days" is a well-written love story taking a day in the life of the protagonist Evan over the span of a few years from young teen to adulthood. Evan is rescued off the streets and brought in to St. Bartholomew's Academy for Boys by Father Valentin, which alters the course his life could have taken had he remained on the streets. Still all is not easy for Evan as he adjusts to his new circumstances, but he develops lifelong friendships and encouragement from friends and mentors all along his journey.Andrew Grey is a seasoned writer, and his characters and plot are fully developed and engaging. I was absorbed immediately into Evan's story from a youth on mean streets to successful adult. The story is plausible although it is ideal and the writing conveys an emotional depth without extremes. He tells a compelling story. I know I will keep this lovely novel in my to-be-read-again category when I want an uplifting story.
