Description
“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
Eighteen-year-old Joe has taken a serious bump to the head, and his beloved girlfriend, Angie, has landed on the wrong side of the law as a result of an untenable situation.
How is a young couple supposed to start a life together when one of them is behind bars and the other is too immature to cope?
Enter Mr. Laurence, a charming philanthropist.
Beloved in the Long Island enclave where he continues his in-laws' mission to save abused children, Mr. Laurence takes Joe under his wing.
Mr. Laurence's generosity extends to everyone in Joe's circle, and offers Angie a path to recovery. Angie becomes a survivor. She learns to cope with her demons and uses that power, not only to survive, but hopefully to thrive.

Melissa Smith, Former Disney Employee

Featured Reviews
Kathryn M, Reviewer
this was what I was hoping for when I read the description, it had a great concept and I enjoyed getting to know the characters in the story. Joseph Sciuto has a great writing style that worked with the story. I enjoyed the mystery elements in this and getting to read this. It was a good message on taking your power to not only to survive, but to thrive.
"Turning to Mr. Laurence, Maria said, “Good news, Dad. Angie has expressed interest in volunteering at the pediatric cancer hospital with me. I told her there might be a bit of an approval process, but that they’re sure to say yes.”
