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.

Very special story which was fascinating after watching all of the episodes in the series. Special moments include family, faith, and design. Thank you for answering question I had.

One of my favorites

you will not regret it

I am amazed that this book is so amazing. It is the best-written book I have read in a while. No spoilers, but it is so written that you feel the emotions of the main character and is so well described that I could not put it down. Buy it, you will not regret it.

Very enjoyable audible

The story carries you along, each twist and turn leaves you speculating on what's next and never disappoints. The character development was excellent. The author builds the individual protagonists, describing their personalities until you feel you know them. All in all, a very enjoyable audible, I can guarantee that this audiobook will not disappoint.

Fabulous!

While the topic is difficult, or horrifying at times, I found this read so compelling and insightful. It brought the history of the south into stark and unforgiving light. Highly recommend.

Really great listen.

Also listened to Author’s book. I think this telling was a different perspective but much more insightful. This is an amazing story of courage.
