About this ebook

A journey from despair, addiction, and broken dreams, to hope, promise, and healing.

When eight-year-olds Chase and Lily found Tyler Anderson crying alone one night in the park, their lives changed forever. Three young people, from different backgrounds and different circumstances, are drawn together because of the thing they lack the most—love.

Emotions ebb and flow as the years go by and they learn how to deal harrowing tragedies. They are forced to figure out how to cope with physical, emotional, and mental abuse.

Nothing is ever as it seems. Some scars will fade, but others might run too deep for the pain to ever heal.

As they grow older, life-altering events change the dynamic of the group, and once again, the children are thrown into an adult world where they are forced to make adult decisions. Emotions ebb and flow as they learn how to deal with the ramifications of other's actions as well as their own. They are forced to figure out how to cope with physical, emotional, and mental abuse.

Nothing is ever as it seems. Some scars will fade, but others might run too deep for the pain to ever truly heal.
