Date: 05 30, 2013
12 year old Christian helps to save his best friend and the girl he has a crush on from their abusive parent. He ends up spending the next 6 years of his life in a juvenile detention center for his efforts. At the age of 18, Christian returns to his hometown hoping to pick up right where he left off. But everything has changed. Everyone has changed. Emily is no longer the innocent 11 year old that he tried to save. She has been haunted by her past and has not lived the glorious life that Christian had hoped to restore to her.This story gives new meaning to dysfunctional families. Both Emily's and Christian's families are so far from the norm that it is just sad when you comprehend that some families really are like that. This book has a great potential for a 5 star rating if not for the frequent typos and odd structure of some sentences. What it lacks in editing it makes up for with its storyline, very original plot with many twists and turns.
