 | such a gut punch story. On the rollercosaster of emotions with the MMC, Damon, and when he is feeling joy, it hits you harder, as it is such a rare moment for him. Working in child welfare field, this brought to life (uncomfortably at times) just how much children taken on , their resilience at an early age and the importance of having trusted adults around them to make all the difference.

 | "I was born to wish for more than I can have" (p281 - Damon self reflection).
