Anger And Grace

Asa Raven's life is defined by shattered anger and a traumatic childhood. Escaping his cruel father at 17 was a decision he's never regretted- that is until discovering a half-sister he never knew existed. Now, Asa grapples with deep-seated anger issues, the haunting scars of his past, and the daunting challenge of figuring out how to raise a kid on his own.

Meanwhile, Eleven-year-old Celeste Raven has always felt like an outsider in her own home. With an absent father she's never met and an abusive mother who despises her, Celeste's world is filled with fear and loneliness. But when she discovers a hidden box in her mother's room containing photos and letters about an older half-brother named Asa, everything changes.

As Celeste unravels the secrets her mother has kept buried for years, she embarks on a journey to find Asa and uncover the truth about her family. When she finally locates him, Asa is anything but welcoming. Upset and reluctant, he eventually allows her to stay in his too-big mansion. The mansion is a world away from the life Celeste has known, offering both safety and new challenges.
