Second Chances: Some kids run from home… until home finally runs to them.
James Turner’s life has always been a series of temporary homes, broken trust, and endless running.
At thirteen, he’s bounced through foster care, learned to rely only on himself, and built walls around his heart. That is, until he meets Chris—a patient father—and his three kids, who offer James a chance at something he’s never family.
But belonging doesn’t come easy. James struggles with anger, lies, and the scars of a turbulent past. He runs, fights, and even lands in jail, testing the limits of his new home.
Through heartbreak, redemption, and the unbreakable loyalty of a scrappy dog named Lydia, James discovers what it truly means to trust, to love, and to fight for the life he wants. From foster kid to runaway, from the streets to owning a thriving thrift shop, James’s journey is a powerful story of resilience, forgiveness, and the courage to finally call somewhere—and someone—home.
A heartwarming, unforgettable story about family, second chances, and finding your place in the world.
