Publisher's Synopsis
Follow the harrowing journey of a boy who, from the tender age of five, endures unimaginable abuse at the hands of his stepfather and later within the Catholic Children's Aid Society. As he navigates the treacherous waters of foster care, he faces further sexual and physical abuse from his foster family. Abandoned and blamed by the very system meant to protect him, he is released from custody at sixteen, only to be thrust into a life of prostitution and drugs in Toronto. Wrongfully imprisoned for allegations against his youngest sister, he embarks on a profound struggle to understand his sexuality, find faith, and, ultimately, put his traumatic past behind him. This story is about resilience, faith, and the quest for redemption.
