In less than 200 pages this story of a family opening their home to a boy with so much pain in his past, absolutely shattered me. The prose are simple, but so eloquent and paint such a beautiful picture of hope that never seems to come to fruition.

The end destroyed me and I finished it at work on my break no less, so that was rough !!
