But Sam Murry, his newest caseworker, is willing to try and work a little magic to save this youth who everyone else has given up on. He recruits Matthew King, a childhood acquaintance who is no stranger to a bit of trouble, to reluctantly provide a roof over this boy's head. Author Vicki Reed relies on decades spent working in the field to craft this inspiring story of loss and redemption.
