This book is very hard to put down. It is the story of a young boy, 5 years old, who is held captive with his mother in an old shack behind the house of their captor. We learn he is the product of a rape, and his mother does everything in her power to allow him to be as normal as possible given the circumstances.
This story is full of painful moments, but it is told through such an innocent voice. So many things that we take for granted, such as the feel of the breeze, are foreign for Jack, the narrator, and when they finally escape from their captor, a whole new world of dangers and problems arise.
It is an amazing story of survival, courage, and most of all, a mother's love. Highly recommend!!
