But she has her fair share of secrets, and they plague her every day. Can April figure out how to help her, before it's too late?

Alright young man?' He said to the kid without looking down at him. 'Everything would be if you hadn't told him in the first place!' The boy shouted at his face. It was all too much for Mr Rostwood. He looked hard at the boy and without thinking, he landed a heavy slap at his cheek. The boy was shocked and fell down from the severe momentum. 'Where do you live?' Mr Rostwood asked like nothing happened. 'I...I live in the orphanage there, sir.' He answered and lifted a small and trembling finger to show him the direction he had come from. Mr Rostwood had heard some things about that place-bad for the most part. He said nothing and remaining with his hard expression, walked away trying not to put too much weight on his right leg. ~~~~~~~~ Follow the story of an 11 year old orphan boy who accidentally encounters a hard-edged man.
