This book is both enrapturing and horrifying. Every time I go to read it, I want to throw up, but I can't find a way to put it down.

Wayne and his Mother and Siblings escaped to their grandmother's, their dad was nice and convinced them to return home with him, but their father was not genuine so he did not stay nice for long. They wanted so badly to be loved by him. Over time their father's abusive ways were back to normal. Often people would show up at their house and there started to be more accusations upon their parents for neglection.

Wayne's is finally led to sources available for him to read about his parents wrong doing in rasing him and his siblings. A woman tries to stop him from reading them, but he insists. He is broken after reading and finding out that what his father and parents had done was not normal ways of living. He just thought that wealthy people could afford to cover up their bruises or trauma, but that is not so.

Wayne narrates as his younger self and as his older self. He visits a library when he is older in search of news. He has found out that one of his parents got themselves into trouble when he was a young boy and might have gone to jail. He searches the archives all day but never finds anything within the right dates. The lady at the front tries to help, and just before giving up, they flip the page, and there it was.

A little boy named Wayne from Massachusetts had an abusive father and could not remember a time in his life when he was not abused. His father loves control over their family. The kids got beat for sneaking extra food, not doing their jobs, going out into the woods, and sometimes for no reason at all. There was no way to build trust because everyone ratted the others out. One day Wayne's dad almost beat him to death.

I just got this book at the end of class yesterday, so I have not read any. It is a nonfiction book about child abuse and finding hope. Although it might be a little heart aching or sad at some moments I am ready to start reading and see what this book turns out to be! I am curious to know more, hopefully, I will like it!

I feel the character wyane has obviously been through a lot while he was young getting beat by his dad and having his mom do nothing about it. wyane was a fun and cool young kid to hang out with he would always make his friends laugh and always found a way to have fun

Wayne's story so far is so sad. The things that he and his siblings have had to go through are terrible. It surprises me that the parents weren't caught sooner, due to how the children went to school. I feel like the teachers and principal should have questioned the bruises more.

now things are getting serious Wayne is telling more about his past life and how badly his father beat him. And how the mother doesn't do anything she just watches as the father beats her kids almost die on a day to day life.
