This story left me broken hearted, but hopeful. A boy gets kidnapped and loses an entire year inside a dangerous place with a dangerous man. Then trying to assimilate into his “before” life without properly dealing with what happened while he was gone leaves him in shatters.
All of my emotions were firing with every page and I couldn’t stop reading. A really well navigated look at trauma from many angles, and certainly a story you’ll never forget.
