Yet, the world has turned its back on him: his abusive father has left for another city, he's now nearly homeless, and his mom is dying from cancer. Living is pointless, he concludes. 
But, his world and understanding of life will soon be transformed when Yusak meets a priest and a girl. "Time is tricky," the priest said. "If you come with me, you can change all this. You can choose the kind of life you and your mother want to live."
