Book two Where Love Leads Us
James has always taken pride in the life he believes he has.
A father who loves him.
A mother who cares.
A boyfriend who feels like forever.
And a cool older brother he looks up to.
But perfect lives don't stay perfect for long.
When the truth finally comes crashing down, everything James thought he knew falls apart.
His father is barely holding things together, working two jobs just to keep the lights on.
His so-called boyfriend disappears without a trace.
And his mother and brother are sent to prison.
What's left behind isn't comfort-it's rage.
When a violent incident leaves another boy in the hospital, James finds himself removed from everything familiar and placed into a group home. There, he meets three boys who carry their own fractures, their own anger, and their own stories of survival.
And for the first time, James is forced to exist somewhere he can't pretend.
A place where broken people are expected to heal... or break further.
The group home owner believes James can be saved. James isn't so sure he wants to be.
But everything shifts again when his brother escapes from prison.
Old fear returns. Trust becomes dangerous. And survival stops being a choice-it becomes instinct.
Now James has to decide:
Can he trust the people trying to pull him back from the edge?
Or is he already too far gone?
And more importantly...
Can someone like him ever let himself be loved again?
