My relationship with my mother has always been strained, but when my dad died in an accident two years ago, our mom fell apart and left us. Well, she comes and goes but she's mostly gone and I raise four boys on my own. Not many people know. No one knows my daily struggles. No one knows what life has been like since my dad died. And that's the way I like it. The less people know about us, the better our chances are that no one tries to take my brothers.
But then, I met a boy. A boy who completely turned my world upside down. I wasn't ready for the collision. I wasn't ready for the fall. I wasn't ready for the impact. But it happened anyway. And life as I know it will never be the same.
