This book is a powerful, emotional roller coaster of a book. I have no experience or knowledge of street drug abuse other than what I've seen on the news so this book was a huge eye opener. I got immersed in the story immediately and I became invested in Jaycee, Sudie, and Gabe's story.

The story is timely with real characters who have lost hope, need grace, and feel lost. Readers who have no first hand knowledge of street drug addiction will be pulled into the story and on some level be able to relate to the characters, because we have all felt hopeless, in need of grace, and lost at one time or another. Ms. Sorrells does a fantastic job of showing that grace, hope, and being found can only come from Christ.

My Bottom Line:

If you enjoy books that are full of emotion, and pack a powerful punch to your soul then look no further. This book will have you invested in the characters and story line. The subject matter is tough and will have you reaching for a Kleenex from time to time. Ms. Sorrells shows the pain of losing your childhood as well as feeling completely hopeless. While the book hit me hard it is also one that I will remember for a long time. These characters will not be forgotten anytime soon!
