The Name I Kept Fifteen-year-old Tomas Bennett is known throughout his small English village as the polite, well-spoken boy who always does the right thing. He dresses neatly, earns top marks, and never causes trouble. To everyone else, he seems to have the perfect life. But behind closed doors, everything is different. With his father away serving in the military and his mother's drinking spiraling out of control, Tomas spends every day trying to keep his family from falling apart. He believes that if he's perfect-if he never complains, never makes mistakes, and never asks for help-he can somehow fix the people he loves. When his best friend, Alfie, begins to notice that Tomas's carefully crafted smile is hiding something much deeper, the truth finally comes to light. Forced to face a future he never imagined, Tomas learns that real strength isn't found in silence, and that healing begins the moment you let someone stand beside you. Heartbreaking, hopeful, and deeply moving, The Name I Kept is a coming-of-age novel about friendship, family, resilience, and discovering that asking for help is one of the bravest things a person can do.
