Joanne Clancy tells the tragic story that is all too common. Darren is a young man whose life was tragically altered when his mother died at a young age. Unable to accept her death, Darren slips into insanity. His abusive father is less than willing to provide a home for his children, and Darren wanders the town until he finds himself in too much trouble. Nobody wants to help Darren, and he is sent to a home for underage criminals, the last place he belongs. When he escapes from the home and returns to his village, his neighbors ignore him and hope that he goes away. Sadly, if just one person had been kind to Darren, perhaps his life would not have been so tragic.The author details a problem that is too common today. People are so concerned with their own lives that they pay little attention to those in need. This novel shows how just one person could have prevented this young man's sad life.
