Signed first edition. First printing. A novel about hope, family, and the trials that come into Conner's world so unexpectantly; the evolving and changing relationships that he must manage through the most difficult times of his life. Nothing could prepare him for the tragedy that ultimately intrudes, or the pitfall decisions he must make that will impact all those closest to him. His upbringing will take him only so far; the rest is left for him to live through. This is about love, the overseeing challenges of making the necessary sacrifices, and learning how to gently let go.
