Blurb

Billy is afraid of his past. Today decides his future.
On the verge of adulthood and a future filled with failure, Billy, a young man with a homelife of torture and pain, sets out on a day which will change his path forever. Can he discover the truth about his existence and will he find the power to shape whatever life brings? Billy tries to forge friendships, but are these people those who will help him become the man he needs to be?
In a seaside town of steady decline, Billy is living a life with the man his mother married. He spends his days hiding from people, school and life. But he can't hide forever. His step-brother pushes against the power of his father and the fallout is one that will set in motion the change that needs to come. Billy sees that his life needs to change, that he needs to become something he has yet to be. But he has to navigate the consequences of other's actions in an attempt to make it through the day and escape unhurt and become someone adults have told him he can be.

review:
After reading this, I just sat and let all the feelings wash over me. In the end, I mostly felt relief and bittersweet happiness. These characters seemed doomed from the start because of circumstances beyond their control. They suffered physical, mental and emotional injuries difficult to come back from. But if you're a betting person, put your money on the underdog. They can come back and supercede your wildest imaginings with a bit of help and guidance in the right direction. Mr. Hutton was a wonderful guardian angel for lost and abused souls. It was a great story for the underdogs of the world and the rest too- lessons learned. I voluntarily read a free copy of this provided by book sirens and am giving an honest opinion.
