Summary |
"Tyler Josten has never caught a break. Abandoned by his mother and abused by his father, he has a wild temper. When he gets into trouble with the law, his grandmother gives up on him, and he is placed in foster care to wait for his court date. The Conways welcome Tyler into the kind of home he never imagined, one of comfort and compassion. When Wayne Conway starts teaching him how to box, Tyler's uneasiness with people caring about him begins to disappear. With a controlled outlet for the anger instilled in him, Tyler starts taking responsibility for his life and his actions. But he still has to be able to trust other people--and himself"--Back cover. |
