Summary

Inspired by a true story. A man who had all he ever wanted, unexpectedly finds himself shattered and broken due to a single tragedy. 

Ken has come to know his sorrow as he clings closely to his painful memories. Giving his life over to his heartache, Ken sees the world as a cold, hard place to live. He settles on the fact that he may never again find the same happiness he once knew.

When some neighborhood kids decide to rob his house, this fateful event sets off a chain of repercussions that Ken could not have predicted. It leads to meeting Mykel, a young man, in a very unconventional way. This leads Ken to make an instant, profound choice. As their friendship grows, Ken sees something in Mykel. Ken begins to redirects his personal focus to the young man and not his self-pity. Not realizing it, that momentary decision will affect countless lives in many unforeseen ways.

Amazing book

The story was amazing. I really enjoyed it. The female narrator was very good. However, the male narrator who narrated Kay Oliver in the Epilogue was super creepy.

Excellent tale of a young slave who defies the odds and wins the hearts of all along the way. Packed full of characters you can't help but love or loathe and filled with action and adventure from start to finish. I would thoroughly recommend this book.

Great moving story

The audio narration is stellar!! The story has things to say and is quick paced because of a constantly shifting narrator and circumstance. Recommended.

It helped me SO much!

Lots of laughter and a LOT of crying. Maybe don’t listen to this if you’re in public, at least not if you cry easily. I’ll miss these characters and their world. A satisfying ending

If you are looking for the best here it is!

There were some seriously emotional moments that tore at my heart but it was so good. I couldn’t get enough of the series and didn’t want it to stop. I’m so sad to say goodbye to these characters. I loved the world and this ending was very fitting for these characters and made me so happy. This is an amazing series to enjoy but it’s not for the faint of heart. There were so many emotions. Thnak you Tom Chandler

This series has been a rollercoaster of emotional events and Tom Chandler just takes the storyline to another level with his narration. Please listen in order, you won't be disappointed.
