Jason Thorn is a filthy and unwanted 13-year-old with a bleak future. He’s been pulled from school for good and is kept prisoner in the family basement with his dog when a wicked storm hits his tiny hometown of Niobrara. Already adept at enduring situations most 13-year-olds wouldn't be able to comprehend, Jason must survive the onslaught of flood waters and devastation that has destroyed his hometown. To do so, he’ll rely on three unexpected friends who will encourage him along the way. This is a tale aimed at readers 13 and up that tackles the ever-present problem of child abuse and how easy it can be for some children to slip through the cracks if people tune them out.
L. Zindman - "I can't stop crying. As a teacher, myself, I have to ask,
"What were his teachers thinking?" Why did no one try to save this boy?
It's too horrible to imagine that Christian went through a similar
horror. You definitely give the reader a clear, concise picture. Thank
you for writing this book."

M. Sweatt - "After I read this book I had a new view of life, that is in
some words life is not 'unicorns and rainbows' but sometimes a fight to
the death unfortunately. This book helped me realize that. This young
boy just wanted love and all he got was hate. I myself being a child as
old as this one am grateful I have a family that loves and cares for me
and with that I will be eternally happy."
