Winston Thibodeau James does not like his life. His father is a town drunk and his mother, before leaving the family, worked at a strip club. He and his only friends enjoy burglarizing houses for the adrenaline rush. Winston decides to leave town and make a fresh start. On his way out, he agrees to one more burglary.
Only this time, the house is not empty. The homeowner is on the floor, unconscious and unresponsive. Instead of committing his felonious act, Winston saves the man’s life. This altruistic act changes the trajectory of his life, and the lives he touches along the way.
“I was immediately pulled in by the in-the-moment narration. I felt like I was watching it life”
Kirkus Reviews
“I fell in love with the characters, especially Maureen. She is a hoot. And Ted, well he is the guy every girl needs in her life . . . a beautiful story of second chances.”
Karen Marstaller, Author, The Bridegroom of Castle Heights
We all need something by that pushes us towards being better people, but what if you find someone unconscious in a house you’re trying to break into? This book takes you through the mind of a kid who grew up in a broken home and with the little help from his friends and family makes a life worth living.
Steve Wilcox did an amazing job tugging at heart strings and making you care about the characters. His character development as well as scene building immerses you into this world. You cry when they cry, get angry, upset, and happy for them as if they’re you’re own friends.
Give this book a read to make your heart grow!
