    About this audiobook

    From bestselling author Karen McQuestion comes a moving novel about broken hearts…and what it takes to put them back together again.

    At nine years of age, Logan Weber knows the routine. Keep quiet, make the food last, and don’t ever cause trouble. He’ll do what it takes to evade the rages of his troubled, violent father. Even though he’s only a child, Logan already knows too much—has seen too much.

    So when the opportunity presents itself, Logan runs. He has no idea where his journey will lead, or that the grandmother he’s been told is dead is desperately searching for him.

    Alone with no home of his own, Logan looks for a safe place to hide. Relying on his instincts and the kindness of strangers, the boy manages to touch the lives of everyone he meets. But his innocent heart cannot survive in the adult world without the most basic human need of all: love.

      Interesting take on a young (9) runaway boy. The boy's upbringing and thought processes are sprinkled throughout the book. There were too many tangents with the other characters. They felt like fillers.
    • 5/5
      Excellent story and the narration was great. I highly recommend.
